Abstract

The new way of understanding university education requires active methodologies with the student as co-creator of the teaching-learning process. One of them is learning by doing. In the healthcare setting, the education of future professionals requires the development of key skills to guarantee an adequate relationship with patients. With the goal to encourage essential professional skills among Nursing and Medicine students, such as active listening, acknowledging the reality of the person, values in health, and the integration of patients into decision-making, the Pixel Project, which is a patient-centered learning by doing experience, has been implemented in the Nursing and Medicine grades since the 2017-18 academic term. This includes first-and second-year Nursing students, and second year Medicine students. The Project is conducted in four stages: planning, implementation, evaluation, and transfer & consolidation. The activities included are: supervised practice sessions in patient associations, workshops and seminars to prepare healthcare programs adapted to each patient association, scientific research and dissemination about the conditions suffered by their users, and a Health Day with the participating associations. So far, 31 associations have participated in this experience, as well as 629 students and professors from both grades. Active learning, which is the basis for this project, encourages the development of interprofessional skills, and promotes the culture of commitment to the society among students, by offering an innovative and reproducible model.
