Qualificação do internato curricular de alunos de medicina na gestão pública da saúde

Abstract

The 2001 National Curriculum Guidelines (NCG), for Medical Schools, with the intention of opposing the training model hitherto adopted, recommend the insertion of students in practical activities since the beginning of graduation. In the 2014 edition, Public Health Management was included as one of the training areas. In this context, this project aimed to stimulate, through the teaching-service interaction, the knowledge of public health management, and to qualify the Curricular Internship in Collective Health of students in the 9th semester of the Medicine course at the Universidade Franciscana de Santa Maria / RS, in joint action with the 4th Regional Health Coordination. It is an intervention study in a teaching-service interaction scenario, which was developed with 27 students, from August to October 2020. The assessment instruments used were: problem situations related to Hospital Contracts, Regulation and Audit and End of Internship Report. We observed, after the internship, an increase in the students' ability to resolve issues involving Public Health Management, interest in lesser-known topics such as Contracts and Medical Auditing, in addition to demonstrating the ability to suggest proposals to overcome the identified critical situations. Based on the results, it is believed that the teaching-service-management interaction will be useful to assist in the development of the profile of competences in this area, recommended by the NCG, drawn up by the university and expected by the Unified Health System (SUS).
