Primary health care as a space for the integration of university substantive processes
Abstract
The substantive processes of medical education represent a challenge to meet the social commitment of universities. It implies achieving quality in its management, satisfaction with the comprehensive training of students and the care provided to the population. The training process in health sciences has particularities in the context of primary health care, which is a field of action par excellence for the application of research and the solution of health problems in the communities. To strengthen the knowledge and skills of the profession, integrated processes and efficient academic management are required. This article aims to argue the relevance of primary health care for the integration of substantive processes; it is based on the particularities of this health context. It is concluded that primary health care is the adequate space for the integration of substantive processes, which generate innovative proposals, leading to the solution of health problems of individuals, families and the community.
