necessary to make investments in their qualification. All this in the sense of improving their

decisive for modifying medical education in the country, and there is no way to train new
professionals differently without competent and innovative teachers, whose professionals
have a fundamental and indisputable role in the teaching-learning process of residents of RM.
This study deals with the training of health preceptors and the importance of their
qualification in the teaching-learning process of medicine. Given the complexity of the theme,
