As condições de gestão na prática da preceptoria em saúde no âmbito dos hospitais de ensino vinculados à Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte

Abstract

Simultaneous action in teaching and assisting professionals who provide health preceptorship in university hospitals requires management to have the capacity to manage, structure and align the educational process. Thus, the present study aims to describe and qualify health preceptorship and the role of the professional who exercises it; identify the strengths and weaknesses perceived by preceptors when exercising preceptorship in university hospitals at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte; and discuss management strategies for facilitating teaching-service integration and optimizing the preceptor's work process, using analysis through a SWOT matrix as a method. The results suggest the need for technical directionality and review of the organizational structure when conducting health preceptorship actions, making it necessary for the manager to understand the complexity of the activities and adopt good organizational practices that provide an adequate and safe environment for carrying out the function.
