Aimed at healthcare professionals, managers, people with disabilities, students, and researchers, this month's meeting expands on discussions about the Individual Therapeutic Project, which has been the central theme of the Re(h)abilitar SIG throughout this year.
The PTS (Personalized Therapeutic Plan) is a set of interdisciplinary actions designed for an individual and their family, focused on contextualized health needs. It seeks to overcome the traditional biomedical model, prioritizing user autonomy and the bond with the team. The process involves diagnosis, goal setting, and division of responsibilities.
The SIG Re(h)abilitar meetings are held synchronously, via web conference, on the first Wednesday of each month. The initiative is promoted by the Santos Dumont Institute (ISD), in partnership with the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN).
