Abstract:

Introduction: The Brazil’s postgraduate courses (masters and doctorate) were designed to enhance the training of university professors and researchers in order to attend the expansion of higher education schools and to promote the scientific research development. Today, Brazilian post-graduation goes beyond the limits of the academy, especially after the institution of professional master and doctorate programs.
Methodology: Documentary study, which included ESCS management reports, as well as bibliographic and technical productions.
Results: ESCS currently offers three master programs: Professional Master Course for Health Sciences, Academic Master Course of Health Sciences, and Professional Master Course in Family Health (ProfSaúde).
Conclusion: The ESCS experience represents an effort to integrate teaching, research and health care in which should be highlighted the concern with the development of the interface with public health policies. However, the institutional environment is complex because ESCS is a higher education institution linked to a Secretary of Health, which supports the development of the critical, creative and humanistic potentials of teachers and students. However, this challenges the scientific consistency and disruptive character of their products and processes.
