SANTOS, Brunna Rodrigues Machado Dos; GONZALES, Paola Sampaio; CARRER, Fernanda Campos de Almeida  e  ARAUJO, Maria Ercília de. Profile and expectations of the new dentis-try students at University of São Paulo: an integrated vision with the National Curriculum Guidelines and the National Health System. Rev. ABENO [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.1, pp. 28-37. ISSN 1679-5954.

The National Curriculum Guidelines brought Dentistry a flexible curriculum, allowing each educational institution formulate its own pedagogical proposal to cover and fit the local social reality. The University has an important role in the formation of a professional able to meet the demands of the population, seeking social relevance of the professional act. New professional profiles are needed, who are capable of meeting the health needs of the population, according to the principles and guidelines of UHS. For reach this aim, the vocational training of den-tal surgeons must rescue the collective character of dentistry practice, initiating the formation of a professional capable of interfere in the reality of the individual and the territory. The study aims to verify the new Dentistry students' expectations and motivations about the course and the labor market, including in the context of the National Curriculum Guidelines and integration with the Unified Health System. A questionnaire was applied to the new students of Dentistry in the first half of 2013 and the data were tabulated using Microsoft Excel software. The data revealed that 46% of freshmen enter college already aiming a specialty, 76.59% of freshmen crave a good financial return, while 53.19% wish to have their own office. We conclude that faced with the autonomous, private and highly specialized job profile, the Academy has a great challenge to deconstruct the imagery brought by the entrants, so that they can be able to work properly in the UHS.
