title: [Evaluation of the Course II of Public Health of the Health Secretariat of Federal District: a case study].
abstract: In Brazil, Public Health specialization courses with the characteristics presently adopted by the National School of Public Health, i.e., short duration and great amplitude, are relatively recent, having started approximately fifteen years ago. In Brasília, nine such courses have been already completed, having, six of them, directive and/or teaching involvement by the authors. Results on a final assessment of one the courses are herewith presented in order to introduce our experience as a contribution to future analogous initiatives. The assessment was applied to a random sample of students, teachers and coordinators, with the objective of identifying positive and negative appreciations about methodological, operational, administrative and institutional aspects. Answers were quite variable, with the highest frequencies scored to field work and to the apprehension on admitting graduates to the Health System. Such aspects deserve final differentiated discussion.
