[A survey on the utilization of internet services to collect job information among medical students and initiation of video public relations activities for the recruitment of public health physicians based on the survey results].

Objectives　It is difficult for medical students to obtain information about public health physicians because there are very few public health physicians near them. To improve this situation, we surveyed the utilization of internet services to collect job information among medical students and produced six videos and conducted public relations activities for the recruitment of public health physicians based on the survey results.Methods　The subjects of the survey were medical students in their third year or above from 18 universities. Public health teachers in these 18 universities sent their students anonymous self-administered questionnaires created with Google Forms mainly by e-mail. The questionnaires included the following items "internet services used to collect job information," "desired length of each video for knowing job information," and "information you want to know about your future work." The responses were reflected in the length and the content of the videos and the settings for their distribution.Results　Responses were obtained from a total of 491 medical students, including 14 third-year students, 177 fifth-year students, and 300 sixth-year students. Homepages were the most frequently used online source for collecting job information (94.7%), followed by blogs (42.0%), Twitter (32.6%), and YouTube (18.9%). Medical students are less likely to use social networking services for collecting job information compared with non-medical job-hunting students. Regarding the length of the videos, 55.8% of the respondents preferred the length of one video to be less than 5 minutes, and 95.1% preferred it to be less than 10 minutes. Almost all of the respondents (93.1%) wanted to know the atmosphere of young public health physicians, and 74.1% also wanted to know the atmosphere of veteran physicians. Based on these results, we selected six public health physicians including young and veteran physicians and produced interview videos that conveyed the atmosphere of each doctor within 5 minutes per person. We refurbished the banner on the top page of the Japanese Association of Public Health Center Directors so that the videos uploaded to YouTube could be watched.Conclusion　We clarified the current situation of the utilization of internet services for job-hunting activities among medical students and were able to initiate video public relations activities for the recruitment of public health physicians in accordance with the needs. It is necessary to increase awareness of the video platform among medical students and clinicians by deepening cooperation with local governments, universities, and medical institutions and expanding the human network both online and in person.

O ensino de promoção e educação em saúde para sanitaristas / The teaching of health promotion and education for public health physicians / La enseñanza de promoción y educación en salud para sanitaristas

Como egresso do curso de Saúde Coletiva, o sanitarista desenvolve competências para atuar no planejamento, na avaliação e na gestão em saúde. No entanto, sua formação acadêmica tem se distanciado de práticas formativas que o aproximariam das singularidades de indivíduos, das famílias e das comunidades, ou seja, do território vivo. Desenvolvida com alunos do 3° ano da graduação de Saúde Coletiva da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), uma proposta pedagógica que tenta reaproximar o aluno do território de práticas é o tema deste artigo, cuja ênfase recai em seu método de ensino e seus resultados ao longo de seis semestres de experiência. A discussão acerca das propostas de intervenção dos alunos com promoção e educação em saúde nos territórios levou à problematização do papel dos sanitaristas como agentes de cuidado integral e, especialmente, sobre suas possibilidades de práticas na atenção à saúde.(AU)

Upon graduation in the public health physician have developed skills in planning, evaluation and management in the health sector. However, academic education has become distant from formative practices which bring the health professional closer to individuals and their particularities, as well as to families and communities, in other words to lived experience. The central theme of this paper focuses on a pedagogical proposal that seeks to bring medical students closer to the field of practices, and involved students from the third year of the graduate course in Collective Health and at the Rio Grande do Sul Federal University (UFRGS). The paper places an emphasis on teaching methods and their results over a period of six semesters. The discussion about the students' proposals for interventions in health promotion and education in different territories leads to a reflection on the problematization of the role of public health physicians as agents of integrated care and, above all, the possibilities for different practices in healthcare.(AU)

Study of learning experiences of expert public health physicians / 医学教育

Objective: The objective of this study was to clarify the learning processes of expert public health physicians.<br>Research questions: The research questions were as follows. 1） What kind of learning experiences do public health physicians have? What do they learn from these experiences? 2） What kind of thoughts do they have?
