Qualification in Education - The Santa Casa Foundation has been fundamental in training professionals in the health field over the past few years. In addition to being a hospital, it is a school that enhances professionals for the job market. Erica Cavalcante, director of Teaching, Research, and Extension (DEPE), highlights that teaching and research are fundamental pillars for the development of a hospital, as they significantly contribute to improving the quality of health services, innovation in treatments, and continuous improvement of professionals.
“Teaching and research are part of our institution's mission, which is to care for people by generating knowledge. We have received great support from the current management of Santa Casa, as well as from the State Government for the advancement of teaching and research in the institution.” Erica Cavalcante emphasizes that hospitals with teaching and research programs tend to attract highly qualified professionals interested in academic development. “These environments promote continuous training, making the team better prepared to deal with the various complexities of clinical cases,” points out the manager.
Vanda Marvão, a nutritionist at Santa Casa, who completed her professional master's degree at the institution, reports that her learning reinforces better training to care for patients and also to train other professionals, in addition to providing higher quality service to users.
“This qualification allowed me to continue in the academic career, considering that I was able to enter the doctorate program at the National Institute of Quality Control in Health (INCQS) of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ), where I completed my doctorate. I emphasize that my advisors were from FIOCRUZ and the Master's program at Santa Casa.” Now Dr. Vanda Marvão also highlights that the master's program, being professional, is important because it leaves a legacy that will contribute to improving work processes. This could be a protocol, an application, software, etc.
The director of the Technical Assistance area of the Santa Casa Foundation, Norma Assunção, believes that the broad training offered by the institution contributes to health assistance for the hospital itself and for society as a whole, during and after the specializations.
“Training these people is truly delivering qualified professionals to society for serving our population and also enabling these individuals to potentially become professionals in our institution, being welcomed by the institution that trained them. So Santa Casa can be training our next professionals and possible managers, ensuring the population a dignified, qualified, and safe health assistance,” says the director.
