INTERPROFESSIONAL EDUCATION IN THE INTERDISCIPLINARY BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN HEALTH: A DOCUMENTARY ANALYSIS

This article presents a roadmap for analysis of Pedagogical Course Projects (PPC) in the health area (Ramos; Meirelles, 2020) with a focus on Interprofessional Education (IPE), as well as carrying out a documentary analysis of the Pedagogical Project of the Interdisciplinary Bachelor's Degree in Health Course (BIS) at the Center for UFRB Health Sciences. The roadmap, called Evaluation of Interprofessional Education (IPE) in health courses, , was prepared by por Ramos e Meirelles after an extensive review of the literature on IPE and validated its content with experts on the topic. This instrument allows the global assessment of Pedagogical Course Projects in the health area with a focus on IPE, as well as the central elements that structure interprofessional education in syllabuses of course curricular components. The documentary analysis of the PPC, from a global point of view, made it possible to identify direct references to interprofessionality in different structuring sections of the document. In the analysis of the menus, it was observed that the health care dimension centered on the user-family- community was more prominent. It was also identified that, although the course has a transversal component that involves actions within the community and focuses on work in teams of students from different courses, there seems to be a need for greater emphasis on this dimension of interprofessional and collaborative work in the document. The study showed that the Roadmap is effective for evaluating the presence of IPE in course projects and allowed us to conclude that the initial preparatory training offered through BIS has several mechanisms favorable to IPE.
