RESUMO

Since the eighties Brazil has witnessed the reorganization of its health assistance system. This movement has demanded the definition of new roles to the pharmacist, whose work must now be focused on the patient (rather than the medicine). Following policies defined by the Brazilian Ministry of Education, some universities started providing students with the possibility of attending university pharmacies as way of improving their formal training. This process was supposed to shift the traditional educational approach, based on the professional specialization to a new, more generalist one. Further investigating this experience was the main goal of this research, which has used both quantitative and qualitative methods. The whole process contained three stages: 1) the identification of universities that have adopted this pedagogical strategy (in São Paulo and Grande ABC areas); 2) the identification of the coordinators perspectives on the generalist approach (trough the use of interviews); and 3) the gathering of internship supervisors opinions on the implementation and functioning of the university pharmacies (also through interviews). The results show that, in a group of nineteen universities, only five developed university pharmacies, making clear that the pharmacist formal training is still based on a specialization approach; this tendency was observed even in the universities that have adopted university pharmacies. Despite it, both the groups of coordinators and of internship supervisors that were interviewed emphasized the relevance of a pedagogical approach based on the "learning through work" perspective and pointed the university pharmacy as a privileged space to develop important skills. Despite the acknowledgement of the university pharmacy as a relevant way of allowing students the direct contact with their professional day-to-day challenges, the research has revealed that it is still not having a preponderant role in the pharmacist training.
