Target audience for the UFMG course
According to the university, the course's target audience is the Oral Health (eSB) teams of the Family Health Strategy (CD, ASB and/or TSB), working 40 hours a week.
Furthermore, the course is also aimed at those responsible for municipal oral health management, which is equivalent to the position/function of Municipal Oral Health Coordinator.
Each municipality may register up to two Modality I and/or II Oral Health teams, with a 40-hour weekly schedule, as holders. In addition, one more Oral Health team, Modality I and/or II, may be enrolled, working 40 hours a week, as a substitute.
