Medicina de família e comunidade na graduação: uma proposta de matriz de competências

Abstract

The expansion of teaching of Family and Community Medicine (MFC) at undergraduate level in recent years has been qualified with the adoption of competency-based learning. The MFC of the Medicine Course at the Federal University of Fronteira Sul (UFFS) – Chapecó/SC, the MFC did not have this pedagogical strategy, and the overcoming of this gap is the object of this Final Paper of the Professional Master's Degree in Family Health (PROFSAUDE). The proposal consists of a competency matrix to be implemented in the seventh and eighth phases of the course. This document contemplates the matrix development project, with a bibliographic review of official documents and proposals on competency-based curriculum in medical graduation. The Course's Pedagogical Project, the National Curriculum Guidelines, the Competence-Based Curriculum for CFM of the Brazilian Society of Family and Community Medicine and the Guidelines for Teaching in Primary Health Care were used as the basis for the identification of competencies and construction of the proposal. Regarding the Competency-Based Curriculum for CFM, it was observed that all 42 competencies listed were included in some curriculum component of the course (CCC). Those that represented gaps in the previous CCR to be developed in phases VII and VIII, which correspond to the MFC, were highlighted. The developed matrix discusses the relevance of organizing competency-based curricula and may qualify the teaching of FCM at UFFS-Chapecó and contribute to medical training.
