ABSTRACT

In the clinical scene two experts meet, the doctor and the patient, but the medical education focused on the diseasepathology does not teach to listen to patient's narrative as persons and their experience with the disease. In the process, students' empathy deteriorates. The purpose of this work was to explore students' reactions by listening to the narrative of real patients in an emotionally protected environment. The project began in 2015 by exposing students to movie clips about doctor-patient relationships, music and short exhibitions on emotion's neuroscience. In 2017, exposition to real patients was added. Patients narrated their experience of suffering in 5 hours a day workshop for 5 days. The study showed that the students developed capacity for full listening, self-reflection, self-knowledge, and identification with the profession, as well as self-perception with renewed empathy.
