Abstract

It is understood that the integration of teaching and health service is a collective work, agreed upon and integrated between: students, teachers of training courses in the health area, workers who make up the health services and managers, all in favor of better training and health care. Seeking efficiency in this process, it showed that a good and adequate organizational arrangement is a condition for the achievement of successful public policies. The aim of this study is to know and understand how Tocantins through the State Department of Health (SES TO) is organized in relation to the integration of teaching and health service. The research is descriptive, bibliographical and documentary. The results were presented in a quanti-qualitative way, based on the collection of information from secondary sources dated from 2013 to 2020. Tocantins has a legal instrument called the Institutional Cooperation Term (TCI) that establishes conditions for mutual cooperation between the SES- TO and educational institutions, with the objective of providing vacancies for mandatory supervised internships (undergraduate, technical, technological or vocational education courses) and in-service learning activities (residences) in the Health Units and Management Sectors of SES -TO. Currently, SES-TO has TCI with 37 educational institutions, 13 public and 24 private. Every semester, the average number of students in internship fields is 4000 (four thousand). The average number of residents per year is 127 students. In Tocantins, SES-TO's commitment to integrating teaching and service is visible, with an emphasis on educational and organizational actions so that the rights and duties of each actor involved can be defined. Therefore, Tocantins presents a well-structured organizational arrangement related to the integration of teaching service in health.
