Abstract

The Residencies in Health, mode of lato sensu post-graduation, appears as a strategy for human resource training for the Brazilian Public Health System (SUS) with profile to be able to change the current practices from a new culture of intervention and understanding in health. This trial seeks to present the proposal of the Conceição Hospital Group Integrated Health Residency (RIS/GHC) to the Dentistry group, emphasis in Community and Family Health. The program consists itself on the teaching-research-assistance and objectives to training qualified dentists to the needs of the SUS, able to work in interdisciplinary teams, from care to management, beyond to providing subsidies for the research development, in a practice based in conceptions of humanization and health surveillance, taking the principles of Primary Health Care as guiding axes. The teachinglearning process is developed in two years, consisting of theoretical and practical field activities - set of theories and practices common to several professions, and core - set of knowledge and practices specific to each occupation. The theoretical activities account about 20% of the total workload, developed through research activities, case studies, workshops and seminars, interspersed with practice in the Community Health Service Unities and in the stages scheduled in the emphasis and core programs. This post-graduation mode intends to minimize the historical deficiencies of assistance and training in the field of dentistry, forming political, critical and active citizens, to seek the collective construction of a health project fair and qualified.
