Abstract

The course of Physiotherapy of the Universidade de São Paulo (USP) was the pioneer one in Brazil. To known the profile of graduates is a requirement in the institutional assessment process, guides the institutions, underlies public policy and it as a reference to society and students about courses and universities. There is no information in the literature about the profile of the graduates of physical therapists of FMUSP yet. This paper will describe the profile of the graduates in physical therapy of USP in accordance with demographics aspects, training and professional qualifications, performance at work and knowledge of the law. We have analyzed 110 graduates students of Physical therapy of USP with online questionnaire that was sent by Regional Council of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy (Crefito-3). Of the graduates in physical therapy of USP, 88.2% are women and young people, 58.2% did lato sensu post-graduation (master or doctor degree) and 35,5% did stricto sensu to improve their knowledge. The reading of scientific articles was the main form of professional updates, 80% of participants was working as physical therapists, 78,1% had physical therapy as their only source of income and earning monthly salary above R$ 3,000.00 (57,3%). Few professionals participate in associations (20,9%) and only 13,6% of participants were able to inform the correct value of the current minimum wage. It can be concluded that the physical therapist graduates of USP show up as different to other graduates from São Paulo in performance at work, with greater dedication to teaching and research, focused effort in universities, higher wages and lower difficulties to get a job.
