Discussing gender and health in the training of residents of a university hospital

ABSTRACT

This report aims to describe the experience lived as invited professors of the ‘Gender and Health’ course of the Multiprofessional Postgraduate School in a university hospital and to present, in an analytical way, the debate on gender and health held in the classroom, based on discussions guided by the professors. The course was taught in a face-to-face and non-face-to-face block, this being for the development of evaluative work. Among the activities developed in the classroom, we highlight: individual forms for identification and contextualization on the theme, group dynamics, and dialogues. In the topics covered, we discussed: being a man and being a woman; construction of masculinity and femininity; gender, right to health and access to services, and gender violence. After analyzing the final works, we affirm the need to create debates on the theme ‘Gender and Health’ in the training spaces, as well as in the scenarios of professional practices.
