Interdisciplinarity, interprofessionality, and racial diversity in the anti-racist training of health professionals: voices and learnings

ABSTRACT This is a critical-reflective report on the experience of an elective course aimed at training health professionals in fighting racism. It was offered during the COVID-19 pandemic to undergraduate students from all the health subspecialties at the University of São Paulo. From the description and reflection on the proposed teaching and evaluation activities, we sought to recognize and learn/apprehend the contribution of the integration of knowledge (interdisciplinarity), professions (interprofessionality), and racial diversity in the teaching-learning process aimed at fighting racism. The perspectives of students, monitors, and teachers are reported. The support of guest teachers allowed this initiative to address racism and its influences on the health of black people, and the educational strategies encouraged students’ cultural production. The initiative proved to be a possibility for introducing changes in health education in favor of both comprehensive care and interprofessional collaboration in dismantling racism.摘要：本报告为一门旨在培养卫生专业人员反种族主义能力的选修课程实践批判性反思报告。该课程于新冠疫情期间，面向圣保罗大学各卫生亚专业的本科生开设。通过对预设教学与评价活动的描述与反思，本研究旨在明确并领会知识整合（跨学科性，interdisciplinarity）、专业协作（跨专业性，interprofessionality）以及种族多样性在反种族主义教学过程中的作用。本报告同时呈现了学生、课程助教与授课教师的视角。客座教师的支持使得本项目得以深入探讨种族主义及其对黑人健康的影响，所采用的教育策略则激发了学生的文化创作活动。本项目证实，其可为卫生教育改革提供可行路径，助力在消除种族主义的进程中实现全面医疗照护与跨专业协作。
