Multidisciplinary Residency Program in Health Care for the Elderly completes 10 years

To celebrate 10 years of the Multidisciplinary Residency Program in Health Care for the Elderly, the Escola Bahiana de Medicina e Saúde Pública and Obras Sociais Irmã Dulce (OSID) held a symposium last Friday, at the Professor Adib Janete Teaching and Research Center (CEPPAJ/OSID). Held in a hybrid format, broadcast on OSID's YouTube, the event was attended by resident academics, professors and collaborators from both institutions.

A Bahiana was represented by the deans of Lato Sensu Undergraduate and Postgraduate Education, Maria de Lourdes Freitas Gomes, and of Extension, Carolina Pedroza, and by the professor and residency coordinator, Dr. Íris Soero de Jesus. Throughout the day, lectures were held involving professors and residents. Pro-Rector Carolina Pedrosa presented the topic “Health Residencies as Perspectives for Qualifying Care” and Professor Íris discussed the 10-year trajectory of the residency program.

“Our partnership with OSID is increasingly strengthened. We understand that teaching-service integration is fundamental in the training of health professionals and to provide support to those already in the service, as it is through continuing education that we keep people up to date”, declared Maria de Lourdes who, together with the other representatives from the Bahiana and sister Maiara, on the occasion representing Maria Rita Lopes Pontes, superintendent of OSID, made up the opening panel of the symposium.
