Through our Thematic Open Lessons, the Senior Medical School promotes encounters between Medicine students and the community of older adults, creating a space for dialogue, empathy, and the sharing of life experiences.

This approach helps to train more aware and sensitive healthcare professionals, prepared to look at older people holistically, integrating body and mind into the care and understanding of ageing.

Fourth-year Medicine students actively participate in preparing the Open Lessons, which are included in the course curriculum. We also count on the Arroios Senior Academy in these meetings, promoting a cultural moment. These initiatives strengthen the connection between generations and value active ageing.
