LOPES, Sandra Ribeiro de Almeida  and  LIMA, Júlia Miranda Ferreira. The partnership university-health service and its importance in undergraduate student training psychology. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.3, pp. 111-122. ISSN 1516-3687.

This study intends to investigate the contributions that the partnership university/ health service provides to undergraduate students, especially in hospitals. The research was conducted through semi-directed interviews with ten internship coordinators from ten different hospitals and twenty senior Psychology students. The survey results show that the partnership is highly valued and motivated by the perspective that the association benefits and helps both sides, which can be determined by the resonance of predominantly positive aspects in the speech of the interviewees. However, the negative aspects of the partnership were relativized denoting a certain resistance in face of questions and possible changes, not favoring a space for reflection able to lead to important advances in the establishment of new health practices in order to satisfactorily meet the real needs and demands of the population.
