Local, Regional, and National Insertion

The Program has national insertion, with expanding partnerships and cooperations, in addition to solidarity actions that promote excellence. The multidisciplinary infrastructure facilitates interinstitutional activities and the development of stricto sensu postgraduate studies with a scientific-technological basis, encouraging entrepreneurship. Student recruitment is increasing, as is the insertion of the first graduates in various regions of the country, allowing the development of projects in their destination locations. This creates a virtuous cycle, favoring scientific-technological projects and the transfer of the culture of innovation and investigation, optimizing nucleation and visibility.

National Exchanges

The Exchanges occur with HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) linked or not to postgraduate studies and are aligned with the Program’s characteristic of multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity, with emphasis on the following partnerships:

  • FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL (Porto Alegre, RS): Partnership with professors/researchers André Prato Schmidt and Luciana Paula Cadore Stefani Stefani, from the Department of Surgery, Discipline of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine of UFRGS, with the joint PG (Postgraduate) Discipline “Peer Review Process: why, what and how to do it” already accredited and taught at UFRGS and in the accreditation phase by this PPG;

  • FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF CEARÁ (Fortaleza, CE): partnership in projects related to anesthesia for liver transplantation.

  • FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF SÃO JOÃO DEL REI (São João Del Rei, MG): partnership with researcher Rafael Sacheto Oliveira for the development of the iECHO Software, a computational tool to facilitate intraoperative hemodynamic evaluation. Software registration at INPI (National Institute of Industrial Property), number BR 51 2016 001497 0, with a letter to the editor published in this quadrennium on the topic, authored by Salgado-Filho MF, Carmona MJC and Rafael Sachetto Oliveira. Corresponds to the postdoctoral research of Marcello Fonseca Salgado-Filho.

  • LOWER AMAZON REGIONAL HOSPITAL (Santarém, PA): solidarity and partnership projects with the HEI, with the participation of DP Everson Luis de Almeida Artifon. Contribution of the PPG to the Center for Studies and Research of the Lower Amazon Regional Hospital (HRBA). The Center is the first within a hospital in the region and is contributing to teaching, the development of scientific-technological research, and the training of health professionals;

  • BUTANTAN INSTITUTE (São Paulo, SP): Partnership in the realization of the Module on Innovation in Equipment and Materials for Health, within the MBA in Health Innovation Management, a Course in partnership between the Butantan Institute and HCX, the Continuing Education School of the Hospital das Clínicas of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo.

  • IPT, INSTITUTE FOR TECHNOLOGICAL RESEARCH (São Paulo, SP): Partnership for the Casulo project during the pandemic, with other joint projects under discussion with the EMBRAPII Unit of IPT.

Partnerships with National Companies

The Permanent Faculty formalize partnerships with companies for the development of scientific-technological projects:

Highlights of National Insertion

  1. Emphasis on professional training and technological innovation: projects related to the development of technologies applied in surgical patient care, with applied research and a direct impact on society, as well as the training of qualified masters to work at the academia-industry interface;

  2. Strategic partnerships: ongoing collaborations with Brazilian companies and hospitals and interaction with NITs (Technology Innovation Centers) of Institutions from different regions of the country through participation in the National Forum of Innovation and Technology Transfer Managers (FORTEC – https://fortec.org.br/);

  3. Scientific-technological production: registration of software with the INPI as well as the development of innovative products in the transfer phase to the productive sector and applied science projects focused on surgical patient care. The participation of faculty and alumni of the Anesthesia Network (BRANCA – Brazilian Network for Research on Complications in Anesthesia), which supports the study of surgical morbimortality in Brazilian hospitals, is a tool for the implementation of projects to improve perioperative care processes;

  4. Qualification and social impact: the training of qualified professionals for the job market who are capable of developing solutions to problems related to surgical patient care in different regions of Brazil, promoting the decentralization of knowledge;

  5. Teaching model and innovative methodologies: interdisciplinary approach, involving professionals from different areas, with strategies aligned with the needs of the productive sector, challenging students to develop projects guided by real-world challenges in the area. The participation of the PPG in the Kids Save Lives Brasil Program (https://sites.usp.br/kidssavelivesbrasil/), which teaches cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid to children and adolescents from various institutions, with the coordination of a DP from the Program and the voluntary participation of students as instructors, annually trains around 1,000 people from different locations in Brazil, having received international recognition from the American Heart Association in 2024, as described below in the internationalization section.
