Abstract

COSTA, José Roberto Bittencourt et al. Formação médica na estratégia de saúde da família: percepções discentes. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2012, vol.36, n.03, pp.387-400. ISSN 1981-5271.

Given current social demands, it has become essential for medical education to break from the traditional model of biological reductionist and training based only at hospitals and redefine itself towards a holistic care (integrality). The construction of new training practices in health with the use of new outdoor scenarios, in partnership with (Unified National Health System - SUS), assumed a key role. In 2005 the Centro Universitário Serra dos Órgãos (Unifeso) incorporated into its curriculum the Problem-Based Learning and the insertion of medical undergraduates into Basic Health Units Family. This paper describes the perception of medical students in this scenario. We conducted a qualitative research working from the application of interviews and the utilization of thematic analysis of responses with the creation of categories. The results show the combination of positive impressions - integration between theory and practice - and negative - problems in the organization of activities, as well as the necessity to identify a local preceptor. A plan is proposed, guided by the new Directives, for teaching in the primary health care in the context of the condition of integrality.
