Interprofessional Education in health courses at a public university

ABSTRACT

Since Interprofessional Education has been identified as a means of reorientation health training and work, the objective was to analyze its insertion in the pedagogical projects of undergraduate health courses at a public university. This research is based on document analysis, divided into three stages: exploratory reading, pre-analysis and document analysis. All documents of the analyzed courses refers to teamwork as an important skill for training, even though they only make a few punctual and specific mentions of interprofessionality. The documents do not present projects for the implementation of Interprofessional Education in regular curriculum, they just delegate the insertion of interprofessionality to university extension. Thus, it was observed that pedagogical projects include Interprofessional Education in a restricted way in health courses.
