Educação em saúde única no sertão de Sergipe: relato de vivência na EMDAGRO

Abstract

The Supervised Internship of the Veterinary Medicine course was carried out at the Regional Unit of EMDAGRO in Nossa Senhora da Glória, in the Alto Sertão region of Sergipe, totaling 656 hours between July 1st and October 31st, 2025. The internship provided an understanding of public service operations in the field, integrating direct assistance, guidance to producers, and sanitary control. Activities encompassed Technical Assistance, Rural Extension, and Animal Health, including participation in vaccination programs against clostridioses and brucellosis, clinical and surgical care, and practical guidance to producers, linking animal management, prevention, and sanitary organization. Active surveillance actions were also performed, such as the registration of aquatic animal farms, inspections of poultry farms, and visits to agrovet stores, checking documentation and vaccine storage conditions. Notably, a suspected case of rabies in cattle was investigated, highlighting the importance of notification and evidence preservation, as well as the monitoring of the Fixed-Time Artificial Insemination (FTAI) Program, allowing observation of protocol execution, logistics, and technical support provided to small-scale producers.
