Abstract

Objective: To analyze the strengths and challenges in teaching on a higher education institution according to the vectors proposed by the Ministry of Health Pro-Health Project. Materials and Methods: We conducted a qualitative research, in which the analysis of content in focal groups was used. In 2009, a workshop was organized by the Pro-Health’s internal commission to discuss the potentialities and challenges according to the main concerns regarding the program. Results: Among the potentialities discussed, it was highlighted the activities structure, internships and curricular practices from the institution integrated to the reality and needs of the population. However, the interdisciplinary approach has been pointed as the biggest challenge to be implemented in the health field. None of the evidence reached the stage III, which means that none were totally achieved according to the professionals. Conclusion: There is a need for constant discussion among teachers so that they can achieve satisfactory results, however, we suggest to work with a smaller number of participants.
