PERMANENT HEALTH EDUCATION IN AND STUDENT TRAINING IN TIMES OF PANDEMIC: AN EXPERIENCE REPORT

Abstract

The study aims to report the possibilities of continuing education actions in health (EPS) and student training during the Covid-19 pandemic, based on the experience of fellows linked to the Tutorial Education Program Integrated Practices in Public Health (PET PISC) of the Federal University of Pampa. This is a descriptive study of experience report. The experiences reported took place from May to December 2020. During this period, the PET PISC developed the cycle of lectures called "Information on Health" and the project entitled "Reading and debate on Primary Care Notebooks", explaining different themes involving collective health. Results show that the critical thinking development process of students, the sooner it is perfected, the more it will add to their professional training, helping them to understand the importance of an interdisciplinary training for the student training process. Thus, the need for EPS actions among students and health professionals is confirmed. It highlights the need for extracurricular activities for training students during the pandemic.
