Resumo
Objective: To analyze the perceptions of undergraduates in medicine in relation to the work
of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) and the influencing factors in choosing the specialty of
Family Medicine and Community (FM). Materials and Methods: An exploratory and
qualitative study of a cross-sectional nature involving undergraduates in the 11th period of the
medical school of the University Center of Anápolis (UniEVANGÉLICA) which is located in
the Central-West region of Brazil. The study involved the examination of data collected from
the body of students involved in a course of study who have been selected after approval by
the Ethics and Research Committee. In the research, two instruments for collecting data and
information were used: Firstly a questionnaire and secondly a roadmap for semi-structured
interviews. This approach was taken in order to Identify Socioeconomic Characterization
along with the Identification of Occupational Aspirations and analysis of factors that
influence their choice of FM by using the technique of content analysis. Results and
Discussion: None of the interviewed graduates opted to specialize in FM. The low social
status, low wages, lack of labor rights, the experience of little contact with medical specialists
during the course, the poor solutions in FHS, with poor working conditions and limited
opportunity for professional growth showed up as negative influences in their choice. FM
have previously examined the social relevance, comprehensive clinical work, bond with
patients, as well as greater contact with medical experts in FM for new graduates to present
themselves as positive influences on the perception of choices. Final Thoughts: The most
effective actions that can ensure the recovery of the FHS as a more inclusive and positive
workplace and one that offers a more recognized appreciation of family medicine as a medical
specialty is as outlined. Better wages and greater social recognition of the work of the FM are
factors that should be considered in policy actions. A further major factor would be ensuring
labor rights and conditions for personal accomplishment in the FHS expert in FM. The
inclusion of experts in FM graduation may assist in identifying students with this specialty.
Further studies should be conducted to broaden the understanding of the subject and deeper
questioning of this important theme for consolidation of the Unified Health System (SUS).
