Perfil de concursos públicos de Odontologia da Região Sudeste do Brasil.

Abstract

The public tender is one of the best ways for health professionals to enter the Family Health Strategy (FHS) and other public health services, but it needs to guarantee the selection of people with an adequate profile. The objective of this study was to verify the profile of the public examinations of odontology in the southeast region, as well as to analyze the coherence between the proposal of the FHS and the content of the selection of professionals for this position. The exams were retrieved by means of research on two widely accessed sites that offer public competitive examinations in Brazil: PCI Concursos e Folha Dirigida and sites of companies of greater representativeness in the competitive bidding in the states of the southeast region. From the entire southeastern region, 266 competitive examinations were obtained for the position of dental surgeon, from 2001 to 2017. For the analysis of the data, three categories were created: QG, for the questions that included the general questions present in the tests; QT, individual technical questions that balance the requirements related to specific knowledge; and QC, corresponding to the questions related to the collective character. In all the tests analyzed, the specific knowledge (QC and QT) had a higher prevalence among the contents charged. Among the areas that involved the individual technical questions, the subjects of Surgery, Dentistry, Stomatology and Pathology were the ones with the highest prevalence. Through the results, it can be seen that the public examinations for dental surgeons who want to work in the FHS in the states of the southeast region, most of them deal with knowledge of clinical dentistry specialties.
