- Abstract
Introduction: Integrative and Complementary Health Practices (PICS) bring a subject-centered care proposal that values traditional knowledge and natural mechanisms for health maintenance and recovery and has been expanding in recent decades, following the publication of the National Policy of Integrative and Complementary Practices (PNPIC) and the definition of WHO strategies for Traditional and Complementary Medicines (MTCI). Such political actions can have repercussions on health education and imply a position of resistance and epistemological discussion within the universities by teachers and trainers. Objectives: Know the understanding of coordinators and teachers of undergraduate health courses in the State of Bahia about the insertion of PICS in health education and their interface with public policies. Methodology: Exploratory-descriptive study, constructed from a structured electronic questionnaire, developed at REDCap, applied to coordinators and professors of undergraduate health courses in the state of Bahia. Results/Discussion: Teachers and course coordinators identify PICS as practices that promoting expanded, integrative, complementary, and alternative care, recognizing them as health rationalities distinct from the biomedical model. Final Considerations: This paper analyzes the complexity involved in health education processes and discusses the need to strengthen training actions in PICS in the field of public policies according to the principles of the Public Heath, but also as responses to the care demands of contemporary society, especially weakened by the recent experience of a pandemic.
