Abstract
Recent reflections have amplified psychologists’ performance area to the health field, mainly because of their insertion in the Unified Health System (SUS), which has meant several challenges for them, both in the praxis and in the knowledge construction oriented to new demands. In this context, the formation in health care has been one of the greatest questions to be faced by the higher level educational institutions, stressing here the Psychology undergraduate courses. This work brings an experience report of the subject “Integrated Practices of Work” from the 7th semester of the Psychology undergraduate course at the State University of Ceará (UECE), whose thematic area is “Psychology and Health”. This subject aims to expand the concepts and practices’ comprehension of the processes involving health-sickness care, from the critical reflection of the students in the field of public health. Students conduct practical activities, systematic studies and supervisions in numerous levels of attention. It is possible to highlight, from this experience, some formative and experiential implications such as: the University’s social commitment with public policies, the reduction of the distance between theory and practice; the update of “live” curriculums according to the public agenda of the psychologist’s’ formation; and the supervision as an educational strategy for promoting praxis.
