Ensino e aprendizagem em estágio supervisionado : estágio integrado em saúde

Abstract

The health professional training focused on social needs has been configured in profound changes in higher education. Since 2009, the University Center Cesmac - Maceió, AL - Brazil, instituted Stage Integrated in Health, pursuant to the Unified Health System (SUS) and the National Curriculum Guidelines (DCN) for health courses. Accordingly, we evaluate the teaching-learning in supervised training when performed integrating students from different courses in health (Physiotherapy, Nutrition, Nursing, Pharmacy, Dentistry and Biomedicine). The methodological approach was ethnographic case study through participant observation, coupled with semi-structured questionnaire and focus group.Through data triangulation we could notice the importance of interdisciplinary, team work, contribution to vocational training and the role of the Teachers as facilitator in the process of teaching and learning by stimulating critical thinking and decision making. Stage Integrated can be understood as a pedagogical strategy an attempt to overcome the fragmentation of knowledge. Additionally it can serve as a benchmark to the other educational institutions that intend to form health professionals with humanistic profile, capable of acting on integrality of health care and interdisciplinary team. This research produced a booklet: "What you need to know to do" with the step by step to create the stage integrated into health. Finally, it was submitted to the group of teachers involved in the internship and the academic community during Scientific Congress.
