BERGER, Sônia Maria Dantas. Violência entre parceiros íntimos: desafios no ensino e atenção em saúde. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2011, vol.35, n.04, pp.526-534. ISSN 1981-5271.

Although intimate partner violence is a public health problem, attention to this complex social issue is not usually adequately integrated into medical training and health care. This article examines the question based on evidence and issues raised in existing literature. International experiences reveal that active screening of cases of violence in health services has been prioritized, but difficulties occur in both the institutionalization of routines and systematization in academic training. In Brazil, the lack of knowledge on this subject among students and professionals has been noted, while incorporating standards for sexual violence care has exposed the unpreparedness of the health teams. The findings confirm the limits of biomedical model-based training and doctor-centred work processes. Recommendations include the ‘critical questioning’ of the IPV problem in teaching-learning processes that incorporate views and experiences of students, ensuring collective discussion spaces supported by the integration of references from Human and Social Sciences in medical curricula and a shift in focus toward comprehensive care and inter-sectorial actions.
