TEACHING IN HEALTH:

intentions of professional master's degrees for training and interprofessional work

Abstract

This study is configured as documentary research with a qualitative-quanti, descriptive-analytical approach and aimed to analyze the intentions of professional master's degrees in the area of Health Education for training and interprofessional work in the Brazilian context. The research involved 20 CAPES Collection Reports, of professional master's degrees in the area of Health Education from the five geographic regions of Brazil, referring to the Quadrennial Assessment (2017-2020). The analysis of the Reports was carried out by identifying tracking terms and analyzing the content expressed in the documents. The Reports express the individual characteristics of the programs and the intentions for professional training aimed at the principles and guidelines of the Brazilian health system; the development of skills for collective work; recognize the importance of problematizing, critical and reflective training; and, they use different active and interactive methodologies with the potential to strengthen integrated work between different professional categories. The Reports present intentions for training and collective and collaborative work, although there is a need for programs to explain more clearly the strategies used to develop skills for teamwork and interprofessional collaboration.
