RESUMO
Resumo O Programa Mais Médicos (PMM) abrange, no eixo provimento, a supervisão acadêmica, realizada por instituições supervisoras (IS) que firmaram termo de adesão com o Ministério da Educação (MEC). A supervisão é parte das ofertas educacionais e implica visita periódica e regular aos médicos participantes do PMM. Entretanto, devido às dificuldades de algumas IS da região Norte cumprirem o que lhes cabe no âmbito do Projeto Mais Médicos para o Brasil (PMMB), o MEC criou o Grupo Especial de Supervisão (GES), que atua desde 2014 nessa região. Este artigo registra a experiência do GES no estado do Pará no período de janeiro de 2015 a maio de 2017. Sua principal contribuição é possibilitar o atendimento à população habitante de uma região vasta e com notória escassez de médicos, uma vez que a supervisão dos profissionais é obrigatória e, caso ausente, inviabilizaria o programa no Pará.Abstract The More Doctors Program encompasses an academic supervision carried out by supervisory institutions that have signed an agreement with the Ministry of Education (MEC). Academic supervision is part of the educational offers and implies periodic and regular visits to participant doctors. However, due to the difficulties of some institutions in the North region to fulfill their responsibilities under the Project More Doctors for Brazil, MEC created the Special Supervision Group (GES), which has been operating since 2014 in that region. This article records the GES experience in the state of Pará from January 2015 to May 2017. Its main contribution is to enable the provision of care for the population that inhabits a vast region where there is shortage of doctors, as the supervision of the professionals is mandatory and if it did not occur, the Program would not be allowed in Pará.
