The Pro-PET-Health and the challenges of the professional education in health.

This paper aims to explore the major changes induced by the current reorientation policies of health professional education, specifically the National Program for Reorientation of Professional Education in Health and the Education by Work for Health Program (Pro-PET-Health). Reports from these institutions and spokespeople from the Ministry of Health were used as source data, which are available on the FORMSUS platform. We analyzed the data with content analysis. We found that Pro-PET-Health is inducing key changes in health education – for example, strengthening teaching and service, diversifying scenarios for practice and innovation in teaching methods that foster research along with social and healthcare needs, and ultimately stimulating interprofessional education.
