A vivência de um curso de saúde em modelos de ciclos no Brasil e nos Estados Unidos

Abstract

The university, over the centuries, has been undergoing transformation processes. Currently, the universities are the center of knowledge production and processing techniques that contribute to the evolution of science and society. In view of the needs of society and the needs of our current Brazilian Health System (SUS), health courses have become targets of changes in their teaching-learning process. Thus the aim of this paper is to discuss and compare the higher education models in health in Brazil and in the United States, addressing the impacts that the interdisciplinary model have on the practice of the professionals in this teaching methodology. For this work, was made a report that describes the experiences as students at BIS major in UFRB and Pre-Med major at UNK. The BIS and the Pre-Med have much in common, but have different impacts on professional training in health to be applied in different realities. The system cycle is rather a big step for a vocational training that fits the local reality and contemporaneity.
