Occupational Therapy Practice and Research

Health training has been discussed in the educational field, guiding curriculum changes for undergraduate courses according to the current public policies, mainly the National Health System and the new Curriculum Guidelines.Professional formation based on the active pursuit of knowledge, ensuring integrality and humanization of health care, is objectified.In this perspective, this article presents a literature review on the scientific production related to health training, specifically the training of occupational therapists, and examines how the political pedagogical project of the occupational therapy undergraduate course of the University of Brasília -Ceilândia College (UnB-FCE) contemplates and prioritizes vocational training guided by current trends.We found 14 scientific articles addressing the reformulation of the curricula of undergraduate courses, favoring interdisciplinarity and practical activities in social infrastructure.The teaching practice and the student body posture interfere in the educational process, with the challenge of developing communicative, affective and relational skills in contrast with the current teaching model.The undergraduate program in occupational therapy of UnB-FCE is recent, and it aims at vocational training under the new proposed model.It is organized in relation to the fields of professional practice and human functionality, and it prioritizes the local community development through teaching, research, and extension projects associated with the health services of the Federal District.
