A formação profissional dos assistentes sociais na saúde e sua articulação com o projeto ético-político do Serviço Social: um debate necessário

Abstract

This study was based on the concern to analyze the process of training of social workers in the Health Residency programs, seeking to reflect on the particularities of these programs, what are the fundamentals that guide this training and to what extent the appropriation of specific knowledge of the health area does not Has contributed to the loss of the professional identity of social workers. Based on these questions, the central question that guided this study was: Is the political pedagogical project that guides the formation of the residents in line with the ethical-political project of Social Service? In order to deepen this debate, I tried to highlight the possible approximations between the proposals for the formation of Multiprofessional Residency programs of the University Hospital of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, which include the inclusion of social workers and the professional training project of the Service Social. For that, a qualitative study of a theoretical nature was carried out, having as reference bibliographical research and documentary research. The results obtained evidenced that there are many similarities between the proposals for the formation of Residences and Social Work. However, it also showed the presence of points that reveal contradictions, and which may represent a trap if not analyzed and discussed in depth, once they distance themselves from the critical-dialectic perspective, and can give other directions to training and professional practice.
