[Not everything is supervised training: contributions for the debate].
This paper discusses supervised training as a fundamental opportunity for the consolidation of the teaching space and also as means of facing the challenges posed by the guidelines for dental courses. It is not a new proposal. It is in fact a fight for changes in dental practicing which began in the 70s with the movement for the integration between dental teaching and dental services. It approaches public health services spaces and the world of work as central for a new teaching strategy. That would generate the opportunity to graduate professionals with a more critical profile, also capable of understanding reality and intervening on it. The paper points the risks of understanding and misunderstanding - supervised training with practicing inside the dental school, under the label of curricular supervised training. In that perspective traditional practices, with emphasis on technical and biological aspects would not have the potential to achieve the changes proposed by the curricular guidelines. While highlighting the relevance of curricular supervised training in professional education, the paper sets a dialogue with ABENO, contesting some of its positions. In that sense, the paper shows the need for a deeper and more participative discussion, that joins as many dental schools as possible.
