RESUMO
We performed an integrative review on the scientific literature about the use of telehealth in audiology care. Through high criteria search of published studies on the "Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde" - Virtual Health Library, PubMed, and Scientific Electronic Library Online databases, nine articles were selected. It was possible to verify that the use of telehealth in audiology is feasible and efficient, because it could promote audiological care for patients from away places. This process reaches more patients and communities by breaking down geographic barriers, and it offers a specific service not available with less cost and more quickly when compared with traditional speech therapy care.

O trabalho teve por objetivo caracterizar o currículo paralelo dos alunos da terceira série do curso médico da Universidade Federal de Alagoas, por meio de um questionário auto-aplicado a uma amostra de 63 alunos. Com base na análise dos dados, constatou-se que a maioria dos alunos (98,41 por cento) buscou algum tipo de atividade extracurricular, sendo que 45,59 por cento delas foram realizadas no período de seis meses, consumindo mais de seis horas semanais. As principais motivações citadas foram a "busca da prática" na atividade médica (36,27 por cento) e a "aquisição de novos conhecimentos" (30,39 por cento). Nota-se que 98,39 por cento dos alunos optaram principalmente por estágios, sendo as principais formas de ingresso os concursos (52 por cento) e a seleção (36 por cento). Conclui-se que, durante a terceira série do curso médico, os alunos ainda não estão capacitados para atuar nos diversos serviços e, por vezes, prejudicam suas atividades acadêmicas para realizar os estágios. Cabe à Universidade orientar seus alunos quanto ao momento mais adequado para o início dessas atividades, além de oferecer suporte quando da realização das mesmas.
The aim of this investigation was to characterize the parallel curriculum of third-year medical students of the Federal University of Alagoas by using a self-applied questionnaire, which was answered by 63 students. The data obtained showed that the greater part of students (98.41 percent) had developed some kind of extra-curricular activity. 45.59 percent of these activities had been carried out during a six month's period and occupied more than six hours a week. The reasons that most frequently motivated these activities were getting practice at medical activities (36.27 percent) and acquiring new knowledge (30,39 percent). 98.39 percent of the students had opted for training periods to which they were admitted by public competition (52 percent) or admission tests (36 percent). It is concluded that in the third year of the Medical course students are still not qualified for the different services and the extra-curricular training periods many times hamper their academic performance. It is thus responsibility of the University to guide the students, show them the right moment to start such activities and to offer support to these initiatives
