J Health Psychol. 2016 Mar;21(3):291-301. doi: 10.1177/1359105316628747.

Abstract

The article discusses psychology training in health care at the Federal University of São Paulo. It places curriculum guidelines in a changing movement of training for health professions, proposing Work in Health Care as one of its common axes. In the Baixada Santista campus, the course is based on learning by experience, public health services and multidisciplinary team work. Three vectors derived from the experience in this project and its assessment are discussed: a common clinic, work in health care as an ethics and the idea of good training by insufficiency.

Keywords: ethics; heath care; psychology; teaching; training.
