The challenge of interdisciplinarity at Faculdade de Medicina do ABC

Abstract

Introduction: We are currently witnessing the emergence of interprofessional actions and moving towards the overcoming of fragmented multi‑professional logic and this requires that we work as agents of ways to acknowledge the boundaries created between distinct and necessary pieces of knowledge that delimit the identitier diversity of each professional. Therefore, the objective of this study was to discuss the interdisciplinary positioning related to teaching actions in Faculdade de Medicina do ABC (FMABC), with special attention to the graduate extension field. Experience report: Daily teaching practices in the FMABC, directed by the tripod teaching, research and extension, have shown us, as a result, that in fact the extension experiences guided by the Collective Health seem to be a core that enables a dialogicity of knowledge and practices in a widespread field as the health and its interfaces, since its essence is to be a multi‑professional and multidisciplinary core, as it constitutes a paradigm of reality and interpretations and interventions in the health. Conclusion: That it is just through the interdisciplinary action that health superior teaching can manage to praise the complex thinking and to prepare professional people capable of understanding that the knowledge and practice of the intervention take place in a production of understandings and agreements for actions that change the barriers and determiners that impair the population life quality as well as its effects on university graduates.
