Data collection was through 2 focus groups, the speeches were treated using the Bardin method, which was carried out manually, as a criterion of Guba rigor, transferability is highlighted; ethical rigor criterion: Declaration of Helsinki of the World Medical Association, was approved by the scientific ethics committee of the career. Results: Three categories emerged: "Academic Representation", "Practical Dimension", and "Proposals for improvement. Conclusions: The figure of the teacher should transmit confidence and provide effective feedback when evaluating the techniques, they facilitate the understanding and approach of the subjects and contents in higher courses to students in training, in the disciplinary field it reinforces the professional role and allows the use of clinical reasoning for clinical decision making, the application of the techniques in the personal and family environment is valued, especially in situations requiring first aid. Regarding the implementation of these activities in practice laboratories, the interviewees made recommendations focused on increasing the number of assistants per laboratory, improving the physical space, evaluating the duration of the laboratory since they consider it a stressful factor to have a lot of time for it, improving the quality and quantity of technical resources and supplies.
