Santo Amaro University – Unisa has been teaching, researching, and extending tradition for 50 years. Located in the southern region of São Paulo, it’s the only University that maintains a research partnership with Capela do Socorro and Parelheiros in the south area of São Paulo. This partnership motivated us to structure the Health Sciences Program, one of the pioneers in this segment and which lists several characteristics that meet the proposal of the program, such as:
- Its regional characteristics.
- The historical involvement of the university in public health policies in the region.
- The population characteristics and professional profile of the graduates of this region.
- The need for integration of knowledge to respond to the complexities of diseases and their diseases.
- Incentive program for teachers with multidisciplinary vision in their teaching and research practices, enabling students with innovative profiles.
