A parceria entre prefeitura de Juiz de Fora e Farmácia Universitária da UFJF: reflexos no ensino, pesquisa e extensão

Abstract

This dissertation was developed under the Professional Master in Management and Evaluation of Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policy and Evaluation of Education of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd / UFJF). In April 2016, after undergoing physical restructuring works and adopting a new management model, the UFJF University Pharmacy began its activities of serving the Unified Health System (SUS) through an agreement between the Faculty of Pharmacy and the tonw hall Juiz de Fora, resulting in the formation of the West Regional Pharmacy. This study aimed to discuss the implications of this cooperation agreement for the academic community, patients and the city of Juiz de Fora. To this end, an investigation into successful practices and untapped potential within the partnership has been undertaken. Given this perspective, we came to the guiding question of the research: what are the reflexes in teaching, research and extension caused by the implementation of the Regional Pharmacy West University Pharmacy? The overall objective of this study is to analyze how this innovation has impacted teaching, research and extension. As specific objectives, this research seeks to: (1) describe the formative aspects of a partnership between public entities; (2) analyze project implementation in the context of the phases of the Public Policy Cycle - schedule, formulation, decision, implementation and evaluation (CONDÉ, 2012); (3) evaluate the insertion of this new operating model for students, managers and the community; (4) propose alternatives to enhance the partnership and maximize its potential, in a democratic, autonomous and socially referenced perspective. The literature studied on the subject (ALBUQUERQUE, 2008; CAVALHEIRO and GUIMARÃES, 2011; FEUERWERKER, 2003, among others) shows that the described scenario is a unique opportunity for development and innovation in the area of Pharmaceutical Sciences, with possibilities to enhance results and broaden successful practices. As a methodology, a qualitative research with exploratory objective was performed, using as instruments the application of interviews with semi-structured script, bibliographic and documentary research. It was found that this partnership is an important mechanism for the promotion of public health, but has activities that can be better explored, such as the integration between the partners of the partnership, use of internal and external indicators and interdisciplinarity with the UFJF Faculty of Pharmacy. At the end of the work, an Educational Action Plan (PAE) was proposed that identified and proposed alternatives for improving the partnership and improving the quality of activities offered to students and residents within the Western Regional Pharmacy.
