ARNEMANN, Cristiane Trivisiol et al. Preceptor’s best practices in a multiprofessional residency: interface with interprofessionality. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2018, vol.22, suppl.2, pp.1635-1646. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1807-57622017.0841.

The best practices we identified are the multiprofessional consultation, the reception given to residents, and the integrated actions among different majors of the residency. In addition, we identified their strategies to develop the practices in health settings. The practices follow the presuppositions of interprofessional education, as they promote the reflection of different actors on the construction of practices that aim at the provision
