This reflection article can be divided into two complementary parts. The first shows the current context of medical education in Brazil, bringing the most recent data on the number of undergraduate students and its growing gap in relation to the reduced number of vacancies in medical residency, which, despite being the most appropriate modality to train specialists, has been overlooked by the excessive number of lato sensu graduate courses. The second part discusses the possibilities of evaluating medical training, which is terminal in Brazil, enabling the newly graduated physician to claim the professional registration and to practice medicine, being evaluated only by their own medical course.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the effect of a supervised exercise training program (SETP) on the pathological complete response (pCR) and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in women with early breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
- Sixty-four participants were analyzed, primarily with stage II and III disease, and results showed no significant difference in pCR rates (56.7% for SETP vs. 55.9% for control) or TIL levels between the two groups.
- The findings suggest that SETP may not influence pCR or TILs during NAC, highlighting the need for further research with larger sample sizes to explore these outcomes more conclusively.
