Abstract
I worked with oral reports that followed the life story of 21 faculty members who had come from Praia Vermelha, attempting to identify the meaning of change related to the pedagogical project at the School of Medicine at UFRJ in their narratives and the attitudes they adopted to cope with the effects produced by such changes in the analysis of their studies and life story. The work is structured around three guide lines: the transfer from Praia Vermelha to the premises on Fundão Island and the consequences of that physical-spatial change to the power fields in the recess of the School of Medicine and, ultimately, the University as a whole; the procedures that applied to faculty members during the admission process in the studied period, to mention the effects of the university reform on their professional careers; finally, the professional education offered by the Medical School, which inserts it in the historical context of pedagogical practices described in medical education literature; and the effect health policies had on the labor market structure in that area.
