Summary: This study aimed to discuss the teaching of Preventive Veterinary Medicine and Public Health, according to the perceptions of students, professors and veterinarian doctors. The theoretical framework follows L.Fleck’s ideas, by establishing a relation between his epistemological category of “thought style” and the fields of practical activities related to the medical veterinary profession. Semi-structured interviews were performed with students and professors of Santa Catarina State Veterinary Medical School in order to identify their perceptions regarding to Preventive Veterinary Medicine and Public Health. The results indicate that the conceptions of social and preventive nature have little prominence in the course and that the thought style of Preventive Veterinary Medicine and Public Health is little emphasized, when compared to the other styles present in the profession. It is suggested that all thought styles should receive balanced emphasis in medical veterinary education. In addition to that, more encouragement towards interdisciplinary thought could be instrumental to help students to acknowledge the importance of all areas in their professional life. For the field of Preventive Veterinary Medicine and Public Health, it is recommended a teaching plan focusing on the acquisition of knowledge and experiences of learning that can assist students in solving health problems of community nature.

O referencial teórico segue a epistemologia de L. Fleck, estabelecendo-se a relação entre a categoria epistemológica “estilo de pensamento” e os campos de atuação da Medicina Veterinária. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com docentes, calouros e formandos do curso de Medicina Veterinária da Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina, e também com médicos veterinários que atuam na região, objetivando a verificação das concepções e percepções com relação à Medicina Veterinária Preventiva e Saúde Pública. A análise dos dados indicou que as concepções de natureza social e preventiva recebem pouco destaque dentro do curso, o que faz com que o estilo de pensamento da Medicina Veterinária Preventiva e Saúde Pública seja pouco enfatizado, em relação aos outros estilos presentes na profissão. Sugere-se que na educação veterinária todos os estilos de pensamento recebam igual ênfase, não devendo haver predominância de um determinado tipo de estilo sobre os demais. O estímulo ao pensamento interdisciplinar nos cursos auxiliaria os alunos a se conscientizarem da importância de todas as áreas na atuação profissional. Para o campo da Medicina Veterinária Preventiva e Saúde Pública, recomenda-se a elaboração de um plano de ensino que proporcione aos estudantes a aquisição de conhecimentos e experiências de aprendizado que auxiliem na resolução dos problemas de saúde das comunidades.Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina2008-08-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.udesc.br/index.php/agroveterinaria/article/view/5337Revista de Ciências Agroveterinárias; Vol. 7 No. 1 (2008); 75-84Revista de Ciências Agroveterinárias; v. 7 n. 1 (2008); 75-842238-1171reponame:Revista de Ciências Agroveterinárias (Online)instname:Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC)instacron:UDESCporhttps://periodicos.udesc.br/index.php/agroveterinaria/article/view/5337/3543Pfuetzenreiter, Márcia ReginaZylbersztajn, Ardeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-07-01T14:54:01Zoai::article/5337Revistahttps://periodicos.udesc.br/index.php/agroveterinaria/PUBhttps://periodicos.udesc.br/index.php/agroveterinaria/oairca.cav@udesc.br | portal.periodicos@udesc.brhttps://doi.org/10.5965/223811712238-11711676-9732opendoar:2022-07-01T14:54:01Revista de Ciências Agroveterinárias (Online) - Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC)false
