ACADEMIC MONITORING IN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE: A REPORT OF EXPERIENCE AND LEARNING

Abstract

This study presents an experience report of academic mentoring in the Primary Health Care course of the Physiotherapy program at the University of Santa Cecília. The mentoring was carried out by students under the supervision of a professor, combining theoretical and practical activities in health units. The experience included participation in fall prevention groups, preparation of reports, and the development of an educational booklet. The results show that mentoring played a crucial role in supporting students, facilitating the practical application of theoretical knowledge, and promoting critical reflection on professional practice. Additionally, remote mentoring allowed the development of new digital skills, essential in the current educational context.
