Distance Teacher Performance
The professionals summoned will act as mediators of the teaching-learning process, monitoring the students’ knowledge construction, activity completion, and skill development.
Each teacher may oversee up to 28 students, according to the notice.
The role is not limited to the formal monitoring of virtual activities.
The teacher must participate in synchronous meetings with the class, ongoing training with learning guidance, and in-person or remote meetings with the Educational Development and EAD Coordination team at ENSP.
Before teaching, selected permanent and alternate candidates must participate in the Pedagogical Training Course for Distance Education Teaching.
The training will be entirely online, will have 60 hours, and is scheduled to take place from September 14 to October 29, 2026.
Approval in this training is a condition for the call to teaching.
The notice also provides for an in-person stage related to the course methodology, as well as the possibility of dismissing the teacher in case of performance deemed unsatisfactory by the coordination.

Only after these possibilities are exhausted, the vacancies may be reverted to open competition, according to the rules described in the call.
Selection will have Document Analysis and Virtual Interview
The selection process will be conducted in two stages.
The first will be a document analysis, of an eliminatory and classificatory nature, with a maximum score of 100 points and a minimum score of 80 points for approval.
The evaluation considers a degree in Public Health or Collective Health, a doctorate in the area, teaching experience in public health or collective health, experience in EAD, professional performance in public or collective health, and a letter of intent.
The letter is worth up to 30 points and should present the candidate’s trajectory, motivation to participate in the course, and the relationship of professional experience with the training theme.

In this phase, aspects such as clarity of argumentation, ability to propose engaging activities, experience in the course theme, understanding of distance teaching, and professional experience in SUS will be evaluated.
The final result of the selection is scheduled for August 20, 2026, in order of classification.
The final average will be calculated from the document analysis score added to the interview score, divided by two.
