Semiology refers to the “study and description of signs and symptoms from a disease”. In the Medical Faculty of Minas Gerais’ Federal University, the Pediatric Semiology is ministered in the 3rd year of Medical school. Since it is taught at the patient’s bedside, who is often in a chronic and debilitated state, the teachings are given in a partial matter, in respect to children’s and adolescent’s fatigue and privacy. To try to solve this problem the development of a multimedia material that could complement the teaching of Pediatric Semiology was proposed. After revision of the literature and comprehensive planning, movies and photographs of the normal physical exam of children and adolescents were made respecting ethical principles, texts were written and a program containing all the content was produced. The program was denominated “Virtual Pediatric Semiology” and will allow for a more ethic approach to the patient, optimizing teachings of Pediatrics.
