Artigo Interprofessional education as an approach for reforming health professions education in Brazil: emerging findings(Taylor and Francis, 2014-01-02) Costa, Marcelo Viana da; Vilar, Maria José Pereira; Azevedo, George Dantas de; Reeves, ScottInterprofessional education (IPE) is an important issue to insert in the debate on the reform of the education of health professions in Brazil. This paper provides details on an emerging study, based in Brazil, whose aim is to explore the use of IPE as a strategy to reform health professional education to become more collaborative in nature. The study has adopted a sequential mixed-methods approach, and will conduct focus groups, individual interviews and surveys with students, teachers and administrators based in two universities. Initial findings have indicated that, at present, participants were not aware of systematic strategies to bring students from different courses together for IPE, which has created problems for the development of knowledge and skills for collaborative work. Further data will be gathered to expand this analysis. Nevertheless, there is already clear evidence that there is a need to integrate and strengthen the use of IPE in Brazil, as a key route forward to strengthening the process of reorientation training of health professionalsArtigo Interprofessional education in Brazil: building synergic networks of educational and healthcare processes(Taylor and Francis, 2016-03-03) Azevedo, George Dantas de; Batista, Nildo Alves; Batista, Sylvia Helena Souza da Silva; Bellini, Maria Isabel Barros; Câmara, Ana Maria Chagas Sette; Costa, Marcelo Viana da; Cyrino, Antonio Pithon; Cyrino, Eliana Goldfarb; Peduzzi, Marina; Reeves, ScottThe healthcare practices supported by interprofessional education (IPE) and the debate about those processes are in the early stages in Brazil. The SUS is the national public policy in health matters and is geared towards universal access, comprehensiveness, and social participation, articulated around Primary Health Care as the back-bone of the network. In this editorial, we outline social and political processes that have contributed to the development of interprofessional practice (IPP) in Brazil. This promising context and subsequently the need of strengthening the public policies for a reorientation of health professional training were the starting point for summoning a first International Colloquium of Interprofessional Educationand Practice, in Natal (Rio Grande do Norte state, in the Northeast region of Brazil). Several of the IPE experiences analysed were considered aswide-range innovations in the federal universities. As a result of the colloquium, a set of action sand priority areas demanding for investments in order to strengthen IPE in Brazil. The road ahead in Brazil looks extensive, and progress willrequire not only dialogues but an effective alliance amongall those with a stake in the improvement of healthcareand professional training
