SHARING KNOWLEDGE; CREATION OF A PRACTICAL EVALUATION IN PUBLIC HEALTH INTERNSHIP USING A MULTI-PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Background and goals: according to National Curricular Policies for medical graduation courses, assessments must search for active methodologies objectifying an adequate process of teaching and learning. This study aimed to relate the trial of Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) examination, accomplished at Public Health Internship since 2011, which, in its last edition, had the participation of Basic Health Care Unities´ members (UBSF), where students were training their skills. Methods: 6 working groups were performed, with involvement of medical course teachers and the doctors and nurses from UBSF, to develop stations which could be used as an OSCE assessment set. These professionals were trained to simulate patients under clinical evaluation and assess students´ performance, creating, though, an assessment scenario close to real medical future. In these groups the stations were integrated in order to evaluate different aspects and, in the last one, we applied the resident´s exam considering that both actress´ speeches and all possible questions were cleared. Results and Conclusions: this collective creation, with the support of professionals´ network, provided debates about the elaboration of simulated patients beyond passive subjects and the approach of his/her function as a caregiver. This experience allowed us to understand how rich a process of learning-teaching can become when other knowledge is considered.
