ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Health management consists of the administration of resources and personnel across three levels of care: primary, secondary, and tertiary. In this context, health care models, referral and counter-referral systems, and points of care are fundamental to management, as they structure and organize the health work process to ensure continuity of care. Management stands out as an essential topic in the education of nursing students, who will engage in managerial activities—including the management of patient care—throughout their professional practice. Objective: To report the perceptions of undergraduate nursing students regarding their experience in a course on health management. Methodology: This is a descriptive experience report based on the experiences of four undergraduate nursing students at a federal university in the Triângulo Mineiro region. The experience took place in September 2026, during a class on management within the "Health and Nursing Practices II" course. An active learning methodology was employed, involving the creation of a poster, which allowed the students to share in-depth insights into their perceptions and experiences regarding the subject. Results: The students identified twelve determinants of the health management work process. They perceived the following as facilitators for management: the use of technology, autonomy in primary care, strong bonds with the population, the development of research, intersectoral collaboration, and permanent health education. Conversely, they highlighted several challenges: over-specialization at the expense of a holistic view of the user, a top-down (vertical) power structure, inadequate referral and counter-referral systems, understaffed teams, a scarcity of resources, and the waste of funds. Final Considerations: The classroom experience enabled students to assimilate theoretical premises and develop critical thinking regarding management. This facilitated learning about health management and reinforced the importance of such knowledge, bridging the gap between management and healthcare delivery. The students highlighted the need to move beyond top-down (verticalized) healthcare models. Notably, the students drew connections between health management and specific tools—such as referral and counter-referral systems and the use of health technologies—viewing these as facilitators for management. The discussion of this topic within the nursing curriculum is clearly significant, with active learning methodologies serving as a powerful catalyst in the teaching-learning process.
