Abstract

The use of active methodologies in the educational process and health practices has become increasingly common, highlighting the need for preceptors to develop interpersonal and pedagogical skills in addition to their medical expertise. Objectives: To understand the profile and perception of primary care medical preceptors regarding their teaching role and the importance of using active methodologies. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted between 2021 and 2022 in the city of Recife, involving medical preceptors, using a Likert-type questionnaire. The sample was obtained by convenience sampling. Results: Thirty-one participants agreed to take part in the research. The average age was 46.8 years, with a predominance of females. The preceptors had an average of 19 years of professional experience and 5 years of experience as preceptors. Twenty-three participants had not taken a preparatory course for preceptorship, and eighteen had no experience in the educational field. They recognized the importance of preceptorship and the need to implement active methodologies but reported a lack of specific training for these approaches. Conclusion: The results indicate that exposure to active methodologies and preparatory courses are essential to make the preceptorship experience beneficial for both students and preceptors.
