Discurso do sujeito coletivo das concepções sobre educação permanente em saúde de gestores e cirurgiões-dentistas da atenção primária à saúde

Abstract

The Permanent Education in Health (EPS) aims to plan and execute training actions of health professionals that meet the needs of the population and the principles of the Unified Health System (SUS). The present study aimed to characterize the conceptions of dental managers and surgeons of Primary Health Care on EPS. The data collection was by interview with dental surgeons of the ESF and with professional representatives of the management of EPS actions. The analysis took place through the Discourse of the Collective Subject (DSC) with the elaboration of speeches that represent the look of dentists and management. The DSC most prevalent on the design of EPS for dental surgeons showed concepts that approach Continuing Education, different from the conception of the managers. The management of work and education in health with emphasis on professional valorization and strengthening of bonds is a determining factor for an understanding and adherence to the EPS.
