This study aimed to investigate some aspects of the professional profile and insertion into the labor market for graduates of Medical Residency in Family and Community Medicine (MRFMC) in the north of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study developed with questionnaires that were sent via email to all graduates of MRFMC in the area over the last 10 years. These data were processed using a spreadsheet. The validation of the online questionnaire was conducted by the Kappa test. The questionnaire was answered by 42 of the 51 physicians located. There was a predominance of males, mostly aged between 30 and 34 years, living and working in the area of training, in the same region. Service agreements represent the main form of employment of these professionals. Respondents who reported difficulties in job performance cited problems related to the organizational structure of the institution/company and the need for continuous education. One of the major challenges faced in the labor market by Family Health Medical Residency graduates is the instability in their employment relations, sometimes dependent on local political movements.
