A formação de preceptores em saúde: desenvolvendo competências interdisciplinares a partir da interprofissionalidade

Abstract

During a doctor’s academic formation, there is little incentive to correlate classroom content with professional reality. However, universities have recently sought to integrate different levels of professional training, as well as various specialties and knowledge, to approach other areas of knowledge and establish relations between them. In this perspective, workshops and other collaborative practices that allow exchanges of knowledge enable interactions of experiences, specialties and skills that, in a collective construction, can reformulate models of health care and education. The objective of this article is to report on the training of preceptors in the “the ABEM-UFT Pedagogical Competency Development Course for Preceptorship Practice (PCDCPP)”, which took place in the collaborating center of Palmas’s city, located at Tocantins state. The description was made from the profile data of each of the four teams throughout the four editions of the course. The PCDCPP had the average hourly workload of 180 hours course classroom and virtually, through distance learning platforms. Based on the pedagogical conception of questioning, the course formed 91 preceptors from different areas of activity in these four editions. Besides fostering the continuity and local multiplication of the critical-reflexive process of teacher training, it was verified that the unprecedented regional course contributed to the development of interdisciplinary and inter-branch professional expertise in health education.
