Discover the Fiocruz Virtual Campus
The Fiocruz Virtual Campus is a knowledge network that combines information about teaching and educational services offered by the institution, making intensive use of information, communication, and educational technologies. Thus, students, teachers, health professionals, partners, and the general public can access courses, open educational resources, video classes, and tools that enhance communication and interaction.
The CVF is a teaching and learning network that facilitates the exchange of experiences among the various units of the Foundation while strengthening collaboration with and among partner networks, such as the Open University of SUS and the Virtual Campus of Public Health, also stimulating new institutional cooperations.
The Fiocruz Virtual Campus should be seen as more than a Technological Platform or WE Space. Among its objectives, it highlights: providing, supporting, articulating, and promoting institutional actions related to the development of educational technologies and distance education, articulating the actions of Fiocruz’s different Units and partner networks.
The mission of the platform is to contribute to and reinforce the institution’s role in training health professionals, especially in targeted qualification aimed at strengthening the capabilities of the Unified Health System and forming specialized personnel for the science, technology, and innovation system in Brazil.
