• Abstract:

  The Autoimmunity Academic League (LAAI) is an extension project

  composed of UEPG medical students dedicated to the deepening of autoimmune

  diseases, since they are diseases of complex etiology, pathophysiology and difficult

  therapeutic management. Aiming to understand the subject and seeking to improve

  the care of patients with rheumatic diseases, the league has achieved excellent

  results through a good doctor-patient relationship. This work seeks to present the

  experiences and activities developed from the standpoint of the tripod, composed of

  Teaching, Research and Extension. Thus, there was selection among candidates,

  resulting in a total of 25 members, among them students from the first to sixth grade.

  The students participated actively in the meetings, which were held at the Hospital

  Universitário Regional dos Campos Gerais (HURCG), through clinical cases and

  disease presentations. The academics also participated in the HURCG Rheumatology

  outpatient clinic, where they applied the concepts learned in practice. There is also

  encouragement to research through writing articles, participation in scientific initiation

  and guidance in the final paper. This whole project resulted in the creation of community

  events along with the publication of the book “Manual of Autoimmune Diseases: Brief

  Discussion for the Non-Specialist Physician” which is addressed to the primary care

  physician.
