Ferramentas de avaliação e acompanhamento de egressos da pós-graduação stricto sensu em ciências da saúde

Abstract

Introduction: The alumni research is an important component of the assessment process for higher education institutions. It allows for understanding the profile of the respondents, their academic and professional trajectories, as well as the institution assessment from their perspective and its impact on society. Over the past decade, this practice has become more frequent, requiring the adoption of tools that enable an efficient and institutionalized process. Objectives:to develop, apply, and evaluate tools for monitoring and assessing alumni from stricto sensu postgraduate programs in health sciences. To create and implement an instrument for evaluating alumni from stricto sensu postgraduate programs at Escs/Fepecs, generating insights for educational management based on research outcomes. To propose a model for an alumni web site for Escs/Fepecs stricto sensu postgraduate programs. Method: this is an observational, analytical, and documentary study with a quantitative and cross-sectional approach. The development of the research instrument was based on CAPES guidelines for evaluating stricto sensu postgraduate programs, internal regulations from Escs, and institutional development plan, as well as the regulations of the programs. The institutional website was developed using the DADI method. Results: the proposed tools were developed, enabling institutional evaluation through the alumni research applied to the institution's post graduate courses, the results of which were presented in a scientific article. The alumni portal allows the dissemination of management reports derived from the research, as well as establishing a valuable network among the postgraduated students. Products: evaluation research instrument survey for stricto sensu graduate program alumni; alumni website for stricto sensu postgraduate programs from Escs/Fepecs. Conclusions: the education acquired had importance in the alumini’s professional and academic trajectories, especially in their ability to conduct research and contribute to SUS healthcare practices. The tools were crucial in establishing an evaluative culture within the institution, providing alumni with an understanding of the social, professional, and academic impact achieved.
