SOBRINHO, Tarcísio Angelo de Oliveira et al. Academic and Multiprofessional Integration in the PET - Health Program: Experiences and Challenges. Rev. ABENO [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.1, pp. 39-42. ISSN 1679-5954.

The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences of the PET - Health staff at the Independencia I Basic Health Center. It is a retrospective, descriptive and innovative experience-based report that makes it possible to address academic and multiprofessional integration in the PET - Health program. The related activities were developed by students and instructors of Biology, Physical Education, Nursing, Medicine and Dentistry. The multidisciplinary work focused on full-time treatment offered through health promotion and diseases prevention services to increase the life quality of users. Among the actions performed, we can highlight the forming of interdisciplinary health education groups, home visits and clinical treatment. Among the challenges, the team came up against curriculum incompatibility and lack of a consistent political-pedagogical project favoring multiprofessional performance. To overcome these difficulties, prior planning of actions to be developed and matching of schedule availability was undertaken so that the team could be better prepared to perform its activities, exchange experiences and share academic knowledge. In conclusion, despite advances regarding the development of multiprofessional training, the challenges can only be overcome after the full integration of health science courses, to promote greater curriculum compatibility and flexibility.
