The views of teaching-service integration by dentists in Caruaru-PE

Abstract

This report is intended to present data from the Technical and Technological Product through the construction of a videocast in the format of an audiovisual interview with dental surgeons preceptors from Caruaru-PE, addressing the topic of teaching-service integration in Primary Care, produced in the Master's course Professional in Family Health – IV Class – from the Aggeu Magalhães Institute-FIOCRUZ-PE. The videocast had as interviewees a dental surgeon resident in Primary Care and a dental surgeon serving, who was not undertaking this postgraduate course at the time, both acting as preceptors for undergraduate dentistry students. The professionals in the interview reported questions about their experiences and personal experiences in coexistence with dentistry students in the curricular internship in Primary Care, addressing the positive points and difficulties faced in the daily routine of the curricular internship with the undergraduates. The objective of this dialogue was to understand teaching-service integration within the scope of the supervised internship in dentistry developed by the oral health teams of the Family Health Strategy of Caruaru-PE and also to expand the discussion on the topic so that, through the wide dissemination of the videocast through the main communication platforms, there would be greater knowledge and adherence of Primary Care dental professionals in the practice of preceptorship. It is concluded, based on the interview conducted through the videocast, that teaching-service integration is well accepted by the interviewed professionals. According to them, it has contributed to the professional development of preceptors, to the academic training of undergraduate dentistry students, and to improving the quality of services provided to the population.
