Desenvolvimento docente e a formação de médicos

Based on the results obtained in the self-assessment performed by 28 medical schools (MS) making part of the Project Evaluation of Change Trends (Caem/Abem), this paper examines the behavior of medical schools according to the predominant alternatives (traditional, innovative, progressive) with regard to the four vectors comprising the axis Teaching Development: Pedagogical Training; Technical-Scientific Up-Dating; Participation in Assistance Services and Management. Although half of these MS consider themselves traditional, the group recognizes the importance and influence of this axis in the medical education process, considering it essential for supporting the implemented changes and ensuring interaction between University, Health Services and Community from the perspective of integrality. For this group of 28 medical schools, the axis Teaching Development is very far from the recommendations of the National Curriculum Guidelines.

Cenários de prática e a formação médica na assistência em saúde

This paper presents and analyzes the results of the self-assessment performed by 28 Brazilian medical schools (BMES) participating in the project elaborated by the Commission of Evaluation of the Medical Schools of the Brazilian Association of Medical Education, with regard to the axis Sceneries of Practice, one of the five relevant axes in the education of the medical professional. This axis comprises three vectors: the setting for medical practice used by the school; learning, and the chance to live the spontaneous demands of health assistance in practice. As refers to the vector setting used for practice, 75% of the schools use mainly primary, secondary and tertiary care units of the health system, another 25% use predominantly the secondary care hospital and the outpatient unit of the proper institution. With regard to participation of the teaching body, 75% affirm providing extensive participation under the guidance of the professors in different practical settings and the rest provides selected and partially supervised activities. With regard to the vector Sceneries for Practice, 25% of the schools only offer practical training linked to the department and specialties/disciplines, one third offers practical training covering different programs and nearly half of the schools (43%) offer practical training throughout the course utilizing the services in all care levels in an integrated way. Not always the justifications and evidences corresponded to the situation of innovation or transformation of the curricula as perceived by the schools.

Tendências de mudanças em um grupo de escolas médicas brasileiras

The purpose of this study of Caem/Abem conducted in a group of twenty-eight Brazilian medical schools was to show the trends in the changes made for meeting the National Curricular Guidelines and consolidating the Brazilian Health System and represents the first stage of the Project for evaluating the change trends in the undergraduate courses of the Brazilian medical schools. The schools answered the self-evaluation instrument according to the proposed methodology. The results show that the course is perceived as inter-relation of five main axes: the world of work, the pedagogical project, the pedagogical approach, sceneries of practice and qualification of teachers. In the perception of their social actors, the greater part of the schools of this group (75%) can be classified as advanced and innovative, strongly tending to the transformations commended for the health sector. The item Qualification of Teachers shows minor advances than the others, indicating in this moment of the process a disproportion in the dynamics of actions for consolidating the changes. It shows the need for deepening the study by developing evaluation processes and constructing qualitative and quantitative indicators that allow identifying and monitoring the changes.

Projeto pedagógico e as mudanças na educação médica

This paper describes the results of the first moment of the Caem/Abem project as refers to the axle Pedagogical Approach, one of the five axles relevant for evaluating the change trends in the medical school. It analyzes how the actors involved in the undergraduate course perceive and situate the school in the society by establishing its political and pedagogical mission. When classifying the group of 28 studied medical schools according to one of the three alternatives (traditional, innovative, advanced), this axle shows in the first place an advanced situation followed by innovative in the second place as refers to the vectors Biomedical and Socio-Epidemiological profile of the future professional and application of technology. With regard to the vectors focusing production of knowledge, the schools show difficulties in producing and extending the research lines beyond the biomedical areas. It also seems hard for them to articulate undergraduate and graduate courses and permanent education with view to the health needs of the population.

Projeto de avaliação de tendências de mudanças no curso de graduação nas escolas médicas brasileiras

The Project for evaluating change trends in the undergraduate course of Brazilian medical schools proposed by the Evaluation Commission of Medical Schools (Caem) of the Brazilian Association of Medical Education (Abem) arose from the need to assess and follow up the changes occurring in the medical schools after national and international movements that recommended that the education of the medical professional should be adapted to the current health demands, especially in Brazil after the homologation of the National Curricular Guidelines for the medical undergraduate course. Composed by professors, students and specialists in the subject, the Caem discussed and approved the project based on the thesis that adopted five relevant conceptual axes in medical education - working world, pedagogical project, pedagogical approach, sceneries of practice and teaching development. The project proposes a work in three steps to be carried out in the schools: 1) application of the self-assessment instrument with analysis of data by the Commission and feedback to the schools; 2) approximation of change trends pointed out by the schools and identification of involved social actors as well as construction of indicators allowing to verify and follow up the changes, and 3) systematization and presentation of data and elaboration of the report according to the principles of National System for Evaluation of Higher Education (Sinaes). This article shows the details of the project and the resulting adhesion of the schools when it was launched in 2006.

Mundo do trabalho no contexto da formação médica

This paper analyzes the behavior of 28 Brazilian medical schools as refers to the axle Labor Market, one of the five axles of the research instrument of the Caem/Abem project. This axle deals with the lack of professionals for providing primary care services to the population and to the employment of the future professional; the economical basis of the medical practice; and to the mediating role of insurances, health plans and similar institutions. The group of schools, although identifying this issue as rarely addressed in medical education, recognizes its relevance for adapting the political-pedagogical project, the didactic-pedagogical approach and the sceneries of practice, and for practicing in the undergraduate course a critical-reflexive analysis of the professional space of health care services.
