Abstract:

Although primary health care (PHC) and family medicine (FM) have increased their space and relevance in health assistance and undergraduate medical courses, there are no graduate programs in FM in Brazil. In this article, we analyze some aspects of the Brazilian public health field and of the national graduate system that can help to explain this scenario. As a contribution to the debate on this topic, we gather informationinternational postgraduate and research experiences in FM and present a curriculum proposal for future national FM masters courses. We discuss some key strategies for the emergence of graduate courses in this discipline in Brazil, highlighting the potential of these programs for evaluation and qualification of primary care services - especially for the Family Health Strategy - and for the training of PHC specialists needed to strengthen the Unified Health System - SUS - as an accessible, comprehensive and equitative health system for the Brazilian population.
