Abstract:

In the attempt to find a specificity for the Executive Master Program in Public Health, we asked, what it, from the point of view of its means and purposes, kept or broke from the training models of the Academic (traditional) Masters Program (MA). In the public health field, this discussion possess an extra “flavor”, as both program aim, in Brazil, to prepare health professionals to the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). Therefore, this research aimed to examine the Executive Master program heuristic and innovative vocation as an educational Public Policy when compared to the MA. From a comparative approach, we analyzed the main characteristics and differences between Public Health Master Programs (MA vs MP), face the flexibilization process of graduate programs in Brazil, and discussed if these features would characterize the Executive Master Program into an Educational Public Policy. Data was analyzed by the Content Analysis Method and the results show that Education institutions tend to reproduce the same model in both Academic and Executive Programs. We conclude that educational institutions tend to reproduce the MA training model in the MP and the expectation of making the health service matter and reason for training is not sufficient to distinguish both modes.
