A formação do enfermeiro para o cuidado na atenção básica à saúde.

Abstract

This work aims at describing the experience of the 1st grade class in the Nursing Course at the Faculty of Medicine of Marilia (FAMEMA) in 2002. In 1998, a new Political-Pedagogical Project (PPP) was started aiming at educating a critical and reflexive professional, capable of teamwork, by promoting nursing care in a humane way. An integrated curriculum and the problematisation methodology were adopted as strategies to implement the PPP, tailoring education to the job market. Among the competencies to be developed toward basic health care, they employed a strategy to integrate 1st and 2nd grade classes in a microarea by applying the MAPP technique.
