Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify expectations, difficulties, skills, and attitudes of students during graduate training in adolescent medicine. We obtained data by means of questionnaires completed by medical students, in their first and last day of practical training in an adolescent outpatient clinic. Among 103 students, we identified the following feelings: inappropriate/insufficient previous knowledge; difficulties in providing care assistance; good expectancy and intention to work with adolescents; and physician/patient relation as crucial to learning. The students reported positive experiences, as well as personal and professional enrichment during their training in the adolescent health care service. Practical training in adolescent medicine must be encouraged during the graduation course.
