ABSTRACT

The new wave of medical pedagogy has shifted its focus from developing clinical skills to over-reliance on technologies, impairing the clinical ability of new physicians. The correct identification, adequate application and exhaustive disclosure of clinical signs contributes to economic and time savings, as the case of the wide variety in aortic insufficiency. However, the new approach of the educational system of medicine has relegated clinical skills to the background and by virtue of the above, new strategies in medical pedagogy have been proposed to give priority once again to the perfection of clinical skills of doctors in training.
