The teaching of health promotion and interprofessional education as a learning tool in undergratuated courses

a documentary analysis

Abstract

Given the integrality of the health-disease-care process, and the importance of health promotion in this context, the training of future health professionals must include the development of abilities that allow a full therapeutic plan centered on the patient. In order to achieve this goal, there are some initiatives being employed in several countries that aim to offer a better formation for their health care professionals, capacitating them in offering a more integral care, based on collaborative practices. Objective: To verify the teaching of skills and abilities listed in CompHP in some of the health care courses in USP, and to compare the use of Interprofessional Education as a polishing tool in these students’ training with the HPAC Guide. Method: Preliminary exploratory qualitative study based on the documental analysis of the pedagogical-political-project (PPP) and the description of disciplines in eight courses in USP-SP, comparing them with guidelines from CompHP and HPAC.
