SINGULAR THERAPEUTIC PROJECT AS A TRAINING TOOL IN MULTIPROFESSIONAL FAMILY HEALTH RESIDENCY: EXPERIENCE REPORT

Abstract

The Family Health Strategy (FHS) is the priority model for expanding primary care in Brazil, guided by the principles of the Unified Health System, which can be ensured through collaborative practices. The implementation of interprofessional practices, however, still faces challenges, and multiprofessional health residencies are emerging as a strategy to strengthen these practices. This article aims to report on the experience of developing a Singular Therapeutic Project (STP) in the context of a Multidisciplinary Family Health Residency program.  It is a descriptive, qualitative report on the experience, carried out at a Basic Health Unit in northeastern Brazil. The experience involved residents from different areas of health, preceptors, a tutor, and the family health strategy team, and was developed based on the selection of a complex case and the performance of home visits, the development of family approach tools, and the shared construction of a STP. The experience highlighted the STP as an important tool for healthcare and training, promoting shared responsibility, qualified listening, and interprofessional action. In addition, it demonstrated the importance of multiprofessional residencies in consolidating collaborative practices and training professionals to work in primary care.
