Educação permanente no cotidiano das equipes de saúde da família: possibilidades de ensinar e aprender

Abstract

This study outlines the concepts of continuing education in health, its importance, possibilities and challenges within the health teams of the family. Aims to identify professionals' perceptions about the issue and allow the strengthening of actions produced in the daily health teams by creating safe spaces for reflection, discussion and evaluation, making the health units in a common area of teaching learning. For the procedure of the empirical research we conducted a survey using a questionnaire administered to professionals who make up one of three teams of family health in the city of Araçuaí. The data show that this is a group with little experience in the network of primary health care. Most professionals expressed knowledge about the practice of lifelong learning and consider a learning process of institutionalized teaching and learning, which enables personal and professional development, but little used in teams.
