ABSTRACT
Objective:
This study sought to ascertain the influence of the PET-management programme, as perceived by monitors, on healthcare training and on their personal, academic and professional development.
Methods:
In this exploratory, qualitative, descriptive study, data was collected through open-ended or in-depth interviews of 14 monitors of the PET-management programme and analysed using content analysis.
Results:
The data revealed that these monitors' situation in the field favours learning by problematising and can help produce critical, proactive, autonomous professionals with a more comprehensive view of the healthcare system.
Conclusion:
Measures that strengthen interaction between academia and care settings and foster knowledge production where all the actors involved in health production meet should be continued.
