Interprofessional Education in health courses at a public university

Abstract

Since interprofessional education has been pointed out for the reorientation of training and work in health, the objective was to analyze the insertion of interprofessional education in the pedagogical projects of undergraduate courses in health at a public university. This research is based on document analysis divided into 3 stages: exploratory reading, pre-analysis and document analysis. All documents of the analyzed courses refer to teamwork as an important competency for training, but the course documents have only a few punctual and specific references to interprofessionality. The documents do not present projects for the implementation of interprofessional education in regular curricula, rather they delegate the insertion of interprofessionality to university extension. Thus, it was observed that the pedagogical projects insert interprofessional education in a restricted way.
