Abstract:

The aim of this article was to identify and analyze the presence/absence of social markers of gender, race and class in the syllabuses of health courses offered at two campuses of the Federal University of Bahia, in force in 2024. In the 22 courses analyzed, we identified 1,090 compulsory, open-access subjects. However, only 3.4% of the syllabuses mentioned the terms and content surrounding these markers and made up the sample analyzed. We used document analysis and subjected the syllabuses to the descending hierarchical classification analysis of the Iramuteq software. We adopted the notion of gender-race-class intersectionality as a theoretical framework. We identified six different classes, presented in a dendrogram. The majority of health courses at UFBA have not yet included the discussion of the main social markers in their curricula in a direct or even indirect way. Only a few have already faced differential discussions which problematize them as constituents for understanding health and which are reflected in professional training. This suggests a careful and urgent review of the curricula.
