Objectives

This study aims to report the experience of a Physical Therapy graduate from the Federal University of Ceará working as part of the Pro-PET Saude program in the Dr. José Frota Institute (JFI).

Methodology

This is a case report with a qualitative approach, using descriptive data from supervised visits to JFI.

Results

By staying in a certain hospital unit, the graduate was able to experience the routine of the health care professionals, observe how several procedures were executed and then correlate to previously acquired knowledge and visual practice.

Conclusions

In this process of experiencing a hospital routine, multi and interprofessional practice is approached in a way to benefit the academic training process and the building of a healthy coexistence between professionals by exposing graduates to several routine and positive situations. Insertion of Physical Therapy was seen as important within a health care group since these professionals are able to assist in rehabilitation, thus improving the patients’ quality of life.
