We investigate the medical training processes that take place in the corridors of an emergency unit of a public hospital in the metropolitan region of Vitória in Espírito Santo. Internship is addressed as a work experience process in which the intern’s curiosity and novelty of performing his first procedures propel him to conquering the hospital as a space for the experience of being a doctor. We invest in training that extrapolates the classical sense of time bound to a formal process of knowledge acquisition. Training that goes beyond the academic route and gains meaning as a process of subject production. This work is linked to a unique reading of how the phenomena of work and training in health care are addressed.
