Ensino médico veterinário: percepção sobre o ensino de diagnóstico por imagem entre discentes e egressos de São Luís do Maranhão

Abstract

Veterinary medical education takes place in colleges, university centers and universities, in Brazil the mandatory registration of this diploma came in 1940, since then courses have been emerging, taking shape from the needs of the regions of implementation and thus many changes occur throughout the history of each veterinary medicine course. In Maranhão, changes occur in relation to the general workload, mandatory, elective, common and professional subjects, but they always occur with the intention of complying with the National Curricular Guidelines. After decades of its creation, the veterinary medicine course at the state university of Maranhão underwent an update of the course's pedagogical project, in 1995 the subjects of Methods and Techniques to Support Diagnosis I and II were created, with I being for the teaching clinical pathology and II for teaching imaging techniques that would assist the veterinarian's clinical routine, respectively with 90 and 60 hours, techniques to support diagnosis II became image diagnosis with 60 hours which remains with this load hourly to the present day after four updates to the course's pedagogical project, but with considerable changes in the wording of the syllabus and the direction of basic and complementary references. The effects of this form of teaching are observed in the questionnaires answered by students and graduates of the Veterinary Medicine course at the State University of Maranhão
