Abstract
ABSTRACT Can the presence of health residency in the territory be a way to decolonize the academy? This article addresses the possibility of decolonizing the academy through a multiprofessional family health residency program focused on rural health in the region. This is an experiential report whose epistemological basis is postcolonial and decolonial theories, especially the pedagogy of the territory, and includes elements of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary training, the territory and health, the relationship between the territory and the health of the rural population in the Quilombola community of Estivas, in the rural region of Garanhuns, Pernambuco. The conclusion is that the multiprofessional residency, as an institute of collective spaces, allows a new look at the territory, the community and health professionals to develop their actions based on interdisciplinarity, popular education and continuous training as a practice to understand other ways of producing health and stimulate change not only in the community and health professionals, but especially in society, making an important contribution to the decolonization of the academy.
