ABSTRACT

Introduction: The users are empowered regarding their rights and health issues, which compels the teaching hospitals to make their health care and teaching functions compatible. The users sometimes play a passive role in the internships, but the curricular change towards the competence models may be an opportunity to engage the users in their assessment.
Objective: Know the users' willingness to participate in the clinical internships and their role in the teaching-learning process.
Methods: A semi-structured interview with eight open questions qualitatively analyzed was conducted on eight users of the Image Center of the Clinical Hospital at the University of Chile. The analyzed dimensions considered their opinions about being subjects of the learning process and their perception about their current role in the development of internships.
Results: The users interviewed have a goodwill to participate in the clinical internships, but express their wish to be explicitly informed before being part of them. They also feel that their role is being a physical facilitator for the students' competences. They feel that, if they could evaluate a student's after being treated, their cooperation would strengthen the students' communication skills.
Conclusions: The users' willingness verified in this study may be used as a resource to introduce the user's opinion into the evaluation of clinical internships of the Medical Technology students of University of Chile. The explicit and informed consent request for teaching activities need to be implemented to consolidate the willingness shown.
