Abstract:
This research aimed at gathering supplementary information for the evaluation process focusing on graduate courses at the School of Medicine of the federal University in Minas Gerais. Questionnaires were prepared and submitted to the 399 alumni from the period 1979-95. One of the objectives was to evaluate what are considered basic courses for training in teaching and research methodology: Medical Teaching, Human Epidelilogy, Biostatistics, Scientific Methodology, and Bibliographical Standarzation. A total of 260 alumni (65.8%) answered the questionnaire, 60% of whom evaluate the courses as having “adequate” content, “sufficient” course hours, didactics ranging from “fine” to “good”, audiovisual resources ranging from “excellent” to “satisfactory” and “sufficient” yield. The data suggest the need for a review of the courses.
