Análise institucional e educação: reforma curricular nas universidades pública e privada

This text discusses some professional practices carried out in the field of higher education in a context of curriculum changes in the medical and nursing courses of a public university (Universidade Federal Fluminense - UFF - in Niteroi, RJ, Brazil) and in the nutrition course of a private university (Universidade Metodista - UNIMEP - in Piracicaba, sp, Brazil). Based on concepts from institutional analysis, we investigate similarities and differences between the public and private processes of curriculum reform, as well as aspects of our own professional histories. This paper was produced in the context of disciplines and seminars in institutional analysis for the Graduate Program in Collective Health at the Department of Preventive and Social Medicine of the School of Medical Sciences at UNICAMP, conducted between 2002 and 2004 under the responsibility of the last-mentioned co-author of this article.

The institutionalization of teaching of psychosocial care in medicine: an institutional socio-clinical study

Medical training in psychosocial care has presented difficulties in terms of meeting health policies and mental health aims. Aim: To analyze the institutionalization of the psychosocial care teaching processes conducted in practice scenarios of the Family Health Strategy, as part of the formation of the medical professional. Method: This is a socio-clinical and institutional study, in which a qualitative approach was used. Data collection will take place in the period from September to December 2013 through semi-structured interviews and group sessions. The participants will be teachers, students and tutors involved in teaching and care giving. The data will be analysed in the light of the French institutional analysis developed by Lourau-lapassadeana. We intend to contribute to reflections on medical education regarding its appropriateness for psychosocial care, in line with the principles of health and mental health policies.
