• Abstract:

  This article presents the results of a study on the influence of master's courses offered by Fiocruz in Africa on the training of health professionals. The analysis is based on data from 36 graduates, 15 from Angola and 21 from Mozambique, who responded to an electronic questionnaire. The results indicate that the master's courses had a positive influence on the professional trajectories of graduates, with significant changes in their work, promotions to management and leadership positions, new job opportunities through competitions and transitions to specialized roles. Furthermore, the master's degree also proved to be relevant in the training of university teachers. The study reinforces the importance of structuring cooperation in health in academic training to promote professional development and contribute to the implementation of future educational policies in the health area.
