Conflicts and advances in the implementation of a health integrated residence program with emphasis in oncology

Abstract

Introduction: In this article experiences are presented in a study with the first class of the Health Integrated Residence Program in Oncology of Ceará, Brazil, made up of 22 multiprofessional residents. Experience report: A case study was made to provide analysis of a contemporary phenomenon in the context in which it occurs, based on multiple sources of evidence – bibliographical and documentary analysis, focus groups and phenomenological analysis. The analyzed material generated two main categories: 1. “on learning and advances” and 2. “on conflicts and challenges.” It is noticed that the different knowledge built by the residents continue to complement, allowing the field of oncology to dialogue with other knowledge and to produce new reflections. The subjects were placed in a real and complex context, with critical potential to rethink the locus of insertion and propose changes. Conclusion: It is understood that all service in teachinglearning process brings with it challenges and difficulties of the most diverse, and advances despite difficulties, which can be thought of as learning based on problems and mobilized by the practice. It considers that a better use of resident professionals needs to be rethought as a political strategy and training in Brazilian health system, and the insertion of health residences programs in complex spaces such as the locus of work can not only be naturalized as spontaneous over the years, but should be targeted for reflection and questioning of the various actors involved in these processes.
