Abstract

Introduction: The Multiprofessional Preceptor Improvement Program of the Open University of the Unified Health System (UNA-SUS), launched in 2022, aims to strengthen the training of multiprofessional preceptors and promote collaborative practices based on the principles of SUS. This study analyzed the challenges of interprofessionalism in the first edition of the program. Objective: To evaluate the challenges of interprofessionalism in the Multiprofessional Preceptor Improvement Program of UNA-SUS, focusing on the analysis of the curricular structure and the pedagogical strategies adopted. Methods: An evaluation study carried out between 2022 and 2023, using a mixed approach. The sample included preceptors who completed the program’s 22 courses, with participation of 16,617 people in the quantitative phase and 392 in the qualitative phase. Data were collected through surveys, electronic questionnaires, focus groups, and document analysis. Quantitative analysis used the free software Jamovi version 1.6, while qualitative data were analyzed with Atlas.ti version 23. Results: The analysis revealed a predominance of female professionals (81.2%) and that the majority of course participants (40%) worked in hospital services. The curricular structure was considered adequate to achieve the learning objectives but presented limitations in the practical application of the content in scenarios outside primary care. The centrality of the medical professional in the courses was an identified weakness, which goes against the principles of interprofessionalism. Conclusions: The results suggest the need to review the program to promote a more robust interprofessional approach. Curricular review is recommended to diversify practice scenarios and equalize the representation of different professional categories, as well as adapting pedagogical strategies to include a wider variety of characters and professional contexts.
