The second course is “Training in Radiological Techniques: Mammography Guidelines for Serving Transgender People in the Unified Health System (SUS)”, also with 100 openings.
In this case, in addition to technicians and technologists in radiology, other healthcare professionals working in mammography services can participate in the selection for free courses.
IFBA Selection Includes Openings with Affirmative Actions
Within the selection for free courses, the Federal Institute will also ensure the reservation of openings according to the affirmative action policies set forth by Brazilian legislation.
Thus, part of the opportunities will be allocated to black or brown people, indigenous peoples, quilombolas, and people with disabilities (PWD).
This measure aims to expand access to professional training and promote greater inclusion in the public health sector.

In the case of mammography, the expected impact also involves improvements in welcoming and access to examinations.
“Expanding access, reducing embarrassment, organizing care flows, and promoting care based on equity. Better-prepared professionals contribute to more welcoming and technically safe environments, increasing adherence to screening and strengthening the principle of comprehensiveness in the SUS”.
