A política nacional de práticas integrativas e complementares na formação de profissionais da área da saúde

Abstract

The present study deals with the consolidation of Public Policies of Complementary Integrative Practices, which aim to offer the Brazilian population new possibilities of care, through the Unified Health System in partnership with the Ministry of Education, through Higher Education Institutions. The objective of the research was to investigate, together with the coordinators of health courses, the applicability of Ordinance 971/2006 in the practice of education professionals responsible for the training of future health professionals. The methodological procedures used were: bibliographic research and field research, whose results, analyzed in the light of the Content Analysis method by Laurence Bardin (1977), showed the steps taken by the HEIs in the pedagogical work for the professional training of the area. Some initiatives are already moving towards overcoming the biologicist vision of the human being and towards a praxis, in the current sense of the term, while others, still need alignment with the guidelines of the Ordinance in question and with the educational objectives aimed at the vision of wholeness.
