How the Fiocruz Course Will Be
Structured to be predominantly developed remotely, the course has a total workload of 430 hours. Of this total, 338 hours are conducted remotely through the Virtual Learning Environment (AVA), 32 hours are in-person, and 60 hours are dedicated to the preparation of the Course Completion Work (TCC).
Fiocruz emphasizes that, although most of the course takes place online, there are two in-person meetings scheduled: the first in October 2024 and the second in April 2025, both at support centers.
Who Can Participate
To participate in this specialization, candidates must meet certain prerequisites. The first is to have a higher education diploma.
Furthermore, it is essential that the candidate is available to fully participate in the three pedagogical meetings planned for the course, which include one remote and two in-person sessions. These sessions are crucial for developing the competencies necessary for teaching practice in health education.
Enrollment for the course is open until August 13, 2024 and must be done directly on the Fiocruz platform, via the link: https://inscricao.ead.fiocruz.br/587. According to Fiocruz, the selection process will be based on a thorough analysis of the candidates’ resumes and the evaluation of the letter of intent.
Those who are approved will receive a specialization certificate issued by the Sergio Arouca National School of Public Health (ENSP/Fiocruz), a document that will certainly add value to any education professional’s career in the health field.
Certificate and Detailed Transcript
In addition to the certificate, students will receive a detailed transcript, containing the course duration, total workload, grades/concepts received in each learning unit and the TCC. This specialization not only enhances teachers’ resumes but also provides a comprehensive and up-to-date formation aligned with the demands of modern health education.
