Additionally, the courses are self-instructional, allowing study at one’s own pace, without fixed schedules.

Operational Aspects of Clinical Research (ECR I, II, III, and IV);

Thus, these trainings contribute to qualifying teams involved in scientific and administrative practices in SUS.
Free Certification and Immediate Access to Content
Then, all approved participants receive free certification, issued by UNASUS itself.
The certificate helps to prove study hours in competitions, functional progressions, and selective processes.
As the courses are entirely online, students can start whenever they wish, access content 24 hours a day, and complete at their own pace.
Thus, the platform democratizes professional qualification and expands the reach of continuing education in SUS.
How to Enroll in the Free SUS Courses
Thus, enrollment is now open. To participate, interested individuals must access the official UNASUS portal, choose the desired course, and fill out the enrollment form.
According to the announcement, “all SUS courses offer free certification for approved participants”, reinforcing the commitment to public health education.
Thus, the enrollment is simple, quick, and does not require a selective process.
Why Free SUS Courses are Important for Health Professionals
The free SUS courses are fundamental for strengthening the care network, updating assistance practices, and expanding the technical knowledge of workers.
Then in a constantly changing scenario — marked by new epidemiological challenges, demographic changes, and social demands — investing in accessible online training becomes an essential strategy to ensure quality in care.
Furthermore, the strong presence of content focused on Primary Health Care reflects the priority of qualifying the first level of care, the entry point of the system, and responsible for addressing the majority of the population’s needs.
