In the Botucatu School of Medicine (BSM), the internal medicine course has traditionally been run in the infirmaries, out-patient clinics, emergency unit, and intensive care unit of the BSM Hospital under the supervision of the Internal Medicine Department. In October 2002, BSM took over the management of the Bauru State Hospital (BSH) making possible to transfer part of the internal medicine training program to a secondary level hospital. Since January 2004, groups of eight students have stayed for a training program at the BSH Internal Medicine Infirmary under the supervision of internal medicine teaching doctors. Advantages of this scheme include exposing students to the simpler pathologies found in the general population, more responsibility with the patient, more contact between student and teacher, and learning about the need to reach the goals set by the hospital. The main functional difficulty of this training program is the heavy workload the teaching doctors have to face, in part due to the absence of residents in the infirmary. In conclusion, we consider the experience of transferring part of internal medicine training program to a secondary hospital has been a success and capable of stimulating other medical disciplines in the BSM to look for new settings for their training programs.
