Experiences in Public Health in a Family Health Unit (USF) by medical students in Amazonas

Abstract

Objective: To report the experience of medical students at a public university in the State of Amazonas, through practices developed in the Primary Health Care territory. Experience report: The practical activity began with knowledge of the territory and the structure of the Health Unit from Família Vicente Pallotti, obtaining some data about the territory. The students then actively participated in the unit's activities, such as triage, infirmary, reception, vaccination room, dressing room and SISREG room, visits and home care, in order to understand how the care process works. In addition, there was the development of health education actions: Lilac March, which addressed women's health and encouraged care and examinations, and the “D' day to combat racial discrimination, promoting reflection on issues social. Final considerations: These experiences not only provided a practical understanding of the USF environment, but also strengthened ties with the community and addressed important health and society issues, contributing to training that is more integrated with the reality of the Unified Health System for future medical professionals.
