What is it about?
The shortage of physicians in Brazil has been alleviated by the More Doctors Program. As part of the program, physicians participate in professional enhancement processes, such as academic supervision, through which pedagogical support is given to strengthen the necessary skills and competencies for working in Primary Care. In 2015, onsite visits and longitudinal supervisory activities took place, in addition to regional meetings, which addressed topics related to noncommunicable chronic diseases, neglected tropical diseases, an overview of the program, Mental Health, and Primary Care work process. This list of themes is consistent with the prevalent epidemiological profile of the population, as well as work dynamics in Primary Care. In short, Academic Supervision has proven to be a powerful tool for the program qualification and Primary Care.
