The Radiology program at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) is a technological graduation course that focuses on professional formation and practice. This program is part of the university's commitment to society, ensuring that technological advancements have a positive impact on people's lives.

Course Overview

• City: Belo Horizonte
• Shift: Night
• Area: Health Sciences
• Academic Unit: Faculty of Medicine The course is structured around foundational axes, including "Fundamentals of Health Sciences" and "Fundamentals of Physics and Radioprotection," which provide the necessary content for academic and professional performance. Other axes, such as "Diagnostic Imaging in the Health Area" and "Broad Applications of Radiology," focus on the relationship with humans, whether patients, collaborators, or other professionals involved in medical practice.

Innovative Characteristics

The program includes innovative features such as an "Integrator" axis and curricular flexibility, allowing for the manifestation of individual particularities and providing a broad, reflective formation capable of adapting to current job market demands.

Course Structure

In the initial periods of the course, basic disciplines are offered to introduce necessary knowledge for later professional cycles. Subsequent periods consist of specific activities for the developed skill, enabling students to learn techniques and perform procedures for obtaining diagnostic images. At the end of the course, students must elaborate a final course monograph under the guidance of a professor, to be submitted to an evaluation board.

Differential of the Course

The great differential of the Radiology course is the formation of a professional focused on the country's demands, with competence, experience, social commitment, and an audacious attitude characteristic of the Faculty of Medicine and UFMG. Most of the course's disciplines are taught by professors from the Department of Anatomy and Imaging (IMA) of the Faculty of Medicine, with activities developed in the Faculty of Medicine Health Campus and the Pampulha Campus of UFMG.

Areas of Professional Activity

The professional formed in Radiology is necessary in Radiology services such as:

• Radiologic Analogy and Digital
• Mammography
• Densitometry
• Dental Radiology
• Computed Tomography
• Magnetic Resonance
• Nuclear Medicine
• Radiotherapy New areas representing opportunities for this professional's activity include industries using radiographic testing for component analysis, medical-hospital equipment industries, museums, and institutions using radiation for artwork verification and recovery.

Duration and Admission

• Duration: 8 semesters
• Admission: Selection occurs through the Unified Selection System (Sisu), using notes from the National High School Exam (Enem), and through the serial evaluation selective process.

Conclusion

The Radiology program at UFMG offers a comprehensive education in radiologic sciences, preparing professionals for a wide range of activities in healthcare and beyond. With its focus on practice, innovation, and social commitment, this program stands out as a leading education in its field.
