PRIMARY HEALTH CARE IN MEDICAL EDUCATION: EXPERIENCE WITH METHODOLOGIES LIVE

Introduction and objective: the educational process should be considered in context that teachers and students have important roles. The graduation disciplines should use methodologies that promote the search for knowledge by the students, making them active subjects in the construction of the teaching-learning process. The objective is to describe the experience with the use of active methodologies in the first series of the degree course in medicine, focusing on primary health care (PHC). Method: This is a descriptive study, carried out through the lived experience reporting on Comprehensive Care Module Health I (AIS I) offered the first series of medical school at the University Potiguar (UNP) in the period from July to December 2015. There were lectures in class, theoretical and practical in university-if scenarios and practice in basic health units of the partner network. Results and conclusion: With the curricular restructuring of medical courses, there was the need to insert disciplines facing a critical and reflective training. The AIS I propose to insert the student in the social, political and ethical APS. To this end, activities were developed as construction of concept maps, discussion in online forums, team based learning (TBL), group theoretical and practical classes with the application of clinical cases, beyond the territorial, building a unique treatment plan and an intervention project. It then becomes important to use these methods in the context of the teaching of PHC, since it has a specific and different reality of the other scenarios.
