Crowded auditorium. More than 300 students from all courses at the Bahiana were present at the Interdisciplinary Workshop on Extension of the Candeal Program which took place last Monday, October 10th, from 18:30 pm at the Cabula Academic Unit. The meeting had as its theme Group Work and Leadership. In addition to the schedule that was worked on after the presentation, in the classroom, the meeting was attended by Dr. Ivan Paiva Filho, coordinator of SAMU.

“We always have this encounter. We started the program with medical students and today we have all the courses. And the reason we are here is precisely that we work as a group”, declared the coordinator of the Candeal Program, the professor of the Psychology course, Maria Antonieta Araújo.

Created six years ago, the Candeal Program currently has 348 students from the seven courses at Bahiana, 22 teachers and is divided into 27 groups. It works in the sanitary districts of Candeal and Cabula, the latter being incorporated into the program only this year.

According to the coordinator, this was the first time that the Workshop was carried out on an evaluative basis, with the student's reflection on their role within the Program being analyzed. “It is a work that involves the motivation of both the teacher and the student, who must develop their skills to work as a team”, he says.

The Candeal Program has already started to take its first steps towards research. According to Maria Antonieta, a group is already starting to be articulated to elaborate an Interdisciplinary Research Nucleus. In this way, the program reaches the third pillar of the Teaching, Research and Extension tripod.

The highlight of the Workshop was the participation of the SAMU coordinator, Dr. Ivan Paiva Filho, who was invited to speak about the 192 service. and universality. Among the points presented by Dr. Ivan, the importance of the multidisciplinary team and the public servant who believe in what they do were highlighted. "But SAMU also needs to improve in some aspects: user access doors and the emergency and urgent service".

The guest also spoke about how humanization has been encouraged in SAMU teams and how important this is for the patient and their family. “Whoever calls 192 wants to be well attended, well received and, if there is no humanization, 50% of the service was compromised. We have the technique, but without humanization, it's no use”.
