Education for interprofessional care: redefining health practices in pandemic times


The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the practical activities in health care to online education, a major challenge for health courses with interprofessional curriculums. This article reports on the experience of a group from Integrated Clinic Module: care production, part of the Work in Health axis, at the Federal University of São Paulo, Baixada Santista campus, using the format of special home activities, highlighting how interprofessional competencies were developed in this new perspective. In eight synchronous meetings, we brought students closer to the reality of the health service through exchanges with providers and service users. We discussed the experience of learning about care, especially in this pandemic context, and the changes it brought. We managed to achieve the module’s educational objectives and develop the skills for collaborative interprofessional practice, although some were incipient.
