Abstract
The Multiprofessional Residency in Health is a type of in-service training that is based on learning technical and relational attributes through daily practice, with a view to improving the SUS. This study aims to understand the expectations of multiprofessional residents and compare them with the perceptions of graduates. The qualitative method was used and, for data production, a non-directive interview was conducted with 12 freshmen and a focus group with seven graduates. The newcomers' reports generated a general category “expectations”, from which four subcategories were unveiled: personal, professional, relational, structural / organizational. The perceptions produced by the graduates showed that expectations regarding theoretical knowledge, multidisciplinary work, relationship with residents of the MRH, with professionals and tutors were below expectations. Expectations regarding professional preparation and self-confidence, practical knowledge, insertion in the labor market, workload and hospital infrastructure were met over the course of two years of this type of postgraduate degree. Knowledge of residents' expectations and perceptions allows for an assessment of the Residency and can provide opportunities for improvements in the planning and execution of teaching, and, consequently, in the quality of the program.
