- Abstract
This report has arisen from a university project with the main purpose of liaison between medical education and medical services. Some of the specific purposes are: insertion of medical students in the real context of medical practice; encouragement of multi and interdisciplinary approaches regarding medical care; and performance of a health diagnosis of local communities. The project is developed in public neighborhoods within the catchment areas of 3 Primary Health Units (PHU) in the municipality of Juiz deFora - MG, Brazil, and in the PHU precincts themselves, by medical, nursing, dental and social services students, who use the family health strategy. The intervention includes: follow-up of risk groups; observation of the work of community agents to know what it consists of and what the communities` reality is; health diagnosis of the assisted communities with a knowledge of the target population and definition of their needs. The project contributes to a more comprehensive insight into the patient and the disease process. It is an attempt to redirect academic education, which still lacks in the ability to form professionals capable of delivering general and comprehensive care.
