The Professional Master's Degree Program in Health and Work Management aims to prepare professionals for resolutive, critical, reflective and creative interdisciplinary work in health through technical, scientific and ethical-political improvement, in order to expand the University's participation in the development of health technologies.
The Postgraduate Program in Health and Work Management received grade 4 in the Capes Quadrennial Assessment 2017. The Quadrennial Assessment, carried out by Capes, analyzed both Master’s and Doctoral Programs regarding their quality performance during the 2013-2016 period.
The course prepares the student to:
Improve the technical, scientific and ethical-political training of professionals, with emphasis on health care, management and education, in cooperative and interdisciplinary perspectives.
Develop interdisciplinary investigative experiences aimed at the development of technologies for care, management and health education.
Develop critical reflection on doing and thinking about health.
Instrument professionals to build, implement, develop and evaluate care, managerial or educational proposals, in cooperative and interdisciplinary ways.
Vitalize the managerial and investigative processes developed in the municipal spheres.
Favor the process of developing the critical awareness of professionals and the community in relation to the Health System.
Fostering the participation of professionals and the community in the resizing of public health policies.
Classes are taught by at least two professors in different areas of research and expertise. This practice is essential for classroom content to be worked on in an interdisciplinary manner, taking into account the interfaces between the human and health sciences.
Classes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (afternoons and evenings)

LINES OF RESEARCH
Central theme: Family Health
Given the complexity of the topic, we have two lines of research:
Line 1 – Family Health from an Interdisciplinary Perspective
This line involves studies on Investigating the processes of living, being healthy and getting sick in the family in its life cycle;
Evaluate, develop and test care, managerial and educational proposals with families, groups and communities;
Assess and develop models and technologies that facilitate interdisciplinary work
Line 2 – Health Education and Work Management from an Interdisciplinary Perspective
This line involves studies on Investigating conceptions and practices of health promotion and education in health services;
Evaluate, develop and test experiences in the development of technologies in health promotion and education for participation;
Generate knowledge, from the use of technology, that contributes to the management of people and health services for the consolidation of the Unified Health System.
These lines guide the research projects and the program disciplines.
