ESTÁGIO CURRICULAR OBRIGATÓRIO NA FARMÁCIA ESCOLA DA FACULDADE DE FARMÁCIA DA UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DE GOIÁS

Abstract

The Farmacia Escola of Goias Federal University (FE � UFG) is a public institution, founded in 1996, and has a main objective to develop teaching research and outreach projects, in the areas of magistral manipulation, dispenseing of medicinal products, cosmetics and related items. This offers students the adequate conditions for development of their professional profile and consolidating a role of pharmacy and healthcare facilities in the community. The training curriculum requires 128 hours, but both, the FE team and the students, perceive that probationary period is short. To some extent, this limits the acquisition of experience and obtaining greater security in carrying out activities. Another limiting factor of the training is the small number of patients who frequent the establishment. This is due to poor visibility that the pharmacy front has to the general public. In order to make known the FE, we count on the help of Social Communication Agency of the UFG, whose main task is the institutional promotion. Through this partnership outreach, activities are scheduled to be held throughout the year 2012. It is believed that through the implementation of the actions described here, along with the several outreach projects that will begin this year, we�ll be able to achieve the goal of the giving more visibility to Farmacia Escola and, accordingly, we expect a greater demand for services offered and therefore more productivity in all sectors and more learning opportunities for trainees.
