Abstract
ABSTRACT This article aims at discussing aspects of the Project More Doctors for Brazil’s Special Supervision Group in areas of difficult access in the Brazilian state of Roraima. It is focused on the relationships between supervisors and doctors, identifying potentialities and difficulties, and highlighting strategies to overcome them. This is an experience report from a thematic content analysis of documents produced by supervisors in 2015 and 2016. Three key categories emerged: potentialities, challenges of the process and constructions based on supervision. Based on the analysis, this is an innovative relationship in healthcare, where academia and services hardly ever come together. It is a complex relationship with structural, cultural and educational limitations. It requires creativity and planning to play all different roles under construction.
Highlights

Academic supervision is conducted every month through local visits paid by supervising doctors from supervising institutions
This study aims at understanding the relationship between supervisors and subjects supervised by GES-RR based on the supervisors’ point of view
Summary
The More Doctors Program (PMM) is a solution to the shortage of doctors in the Brazilian National Health System (SUS), in primary care, and to the poor distribution of these professionals throughout the country[1]. Primary healthcare teams of Brazilian cities become complete[2], strengthening longitudinal care in the most vulnerable populations. Academic supervision is conducted every month through local visits paid by supervising doctors from supervising institutions. It is an investment in the education and qualification of health work, individualizing experiences and improving the supervised doctors’ competencies[3]. Tutors oversee dialogs with local managers and the managing body of the Brazilian Ministry of Education (MEC)
