The Graduate Program in Collective Health (PPGSCol) - Professional Master's Degree, at the Universidade do Extremo Sul Catarinense (Unesc) is aimed at professionals and managers with higher education degrees who work or intend to work in the area of Health.
This program deepens and mobilizes reflective processes in the way health professionals work, through care management, so that positive movements in defense of the SUS and possible ways of making the system happen based on its assumptions can be promoted at regional and state level.
Among PPGSCol's functions is the promotion and mediation of meetings that enable professionals and managers in the macro-region to rethink their practices, in order to give new meaning to training processes in health.
It aims to mobilize professionals engaged with the SUS in the teaching-learning process in health, in a critical and involved way, through the use of permanent education in health as a working tool that produces light, light-hard and hard technologies, using scientific production as a source of evidence.
Thus, the PPGSCol is an important space for both instrumentalization and experimentation/construction of products and research into new forms of relationship among healthcare professionals and users, among healthcare professionals and managers, and among healthcare professionals themselves, in order to promote changes in their workplaces, recognizing primary care as the coordinator of the care network and inducer of a health-promoting model, which takes into account health responsibility through multiprofessional and intersectoral action.
Our mission is to qualify professionals and managers who are committed to collective health through the management of services and care, epidemiology, health promotion and education, transforming healthcare practice scenarios from the perspective of comprehensive care.
Our objective is to train professionals and managers in the health area for the qualification and innovation of health management, focusing on care and education, relying on research skills and critical analysis in the themes of applied epidemiology, health promotion, education and work management. Also, we aim to train health professionals and managers of health networks and services so that they are able to:
Identify the best evidence for decision-making in health;
Use epidemiological methods to describe and analyze collective health situations, generate information that enables the formulation of intervention proposals in health services;
Evaluate and develop new technologies for health promotion from the perspective of comprehensive care and fostering autonomy;
Develop and implement health education programs aimed at transforming work processes and improving management quality;
Produce knowledge through research to support the development of products and interventions for the qualification of service networks;
The Postgraduate Program in Materials Science and Engineering (PPGCEM) offers Master's and Doctorate courses, where the target audience is professionals from the various industrial and service segments in the southern region of the State of Santa Catarina, graduates from Unesc and professionals trained in other higher education institutions.
