Description
Summary:The objective this study was to describe experiences that reflect interactive actions in the program content of the Physical Education and Primary Health Care (PHC) course in the undergraduate (bachelor) degree in Physical Education at the Midwestern Parana State University (UNICENTRO). Activities that aimed to promote students’ understanding of the area and of their role in the health care team through interactions with other professors and professionals from the multidisciplinary residency with emphasis in family health for professionals of Physical Education, Nutrition, Nursing and Physical Therapy are described. The highlighted activities include a review of the legislation supporting the inclusion of the Physical Education professional in the PHC as well as documentaries based on previous reports from a professor in the area. Moreover, studies regarding the skills of the Physical Education professional in Primary Health Care, a comparison between the reality of Primary Health Care in Canada and the PHC, and the interventions developed by the multidisciplinary residents representing Physical Education. We hope this experience report facilitates continuous discussion about the teaching-learning process in the field of Physical Education and public/collective health, mainly in the field of Primary Health Care.
