Abstract
Health training in Brazil creates practice that is detached from reality. However, teaching-service integration has shown itself to be a powerful tool to address this problem. This study analyzed the influence of the participation of health professionals in teaching-service integration initiatives in training and the effects of these initiatives on professional practice. We conducted an exploratory descriptive study in which eight professionals were interviewed using narrative interview techniques. The data were analyzed using content analysis. Two main categories emerged from the analysis: “The importance of real situations for health training” and “Team work and the need to develop collaboration competencies”. Immersion into experience provided the opportunity to acquire knowledge that goes beyond the resources offered by a traditional curriculum.
