THE TERRITORY AS COMPONENT OF THE AMPLIFIED CARE IN HEALTH

INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES: From the Situation Diagnosis of a given territory we can understand it in a deeper way, understanding it as territory-soil and territory-process. Based on that assumption, we intend to make the students of the Collective Health Internship (CHI) from Universidade Federal de Uberlandia Medicine course aware for the understanding and intervention on territory from the relation between territory and health. METHOD/EXPERIENCE REPORT: CHI students are included on the Primary Health Care on their last period of the course, and through the practice of Family Medicine and Community they are stimulated to understand the process of health-illness-care beyond the classical biomedical view, understanding the territory as an important element on the process. That way, there’s a proposal to execute an Intervention Project on the Territory, as project of university extension, which allow them to identify the organization and the dynamic of the territory, therefore some interventions on a few key social points can be done promoting, in that way, health. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: From this project, the students were able to understand the association of the territory on health care, allowing, that way, the amplification of the care to beyond the biomedical interventions. Besides that, there was an enhancement on the team work with the link between the social equipment of the territory and the health services net, allowing to understand, including, the concept of net.
