INTRODUCTION
The Graduate Program in Health and Socioenvironmental Development (PPGSDS), recognized through Ordinance No. 997 of November 23, 2020, by the Ministry of Education, aims to train human resources in the academic master’s modality to work across various fields of knowledge through interdisciplinary research. Upholding ethics and academic excellence, the program focuses on developing policies, programs, and actions that promote human and animal health, human rights, education, and socioenvironmental quality. It does so by comprehensively understanding integrated issues and seeking solutions. The PPGSDS is affiliated with the Multicampi Garanhuns / Arcoverde / Serra Talhada of the University of Pernambuco and adheres to the General Regulations of Stricto Sensu Graduate Programs at UPE and Resolution CEPE No. 041/2020.

RESEARCH LINES:
Line 1: Interdisciplinary studies applied to health promotion, disease prevention, and control: Interdisciplinary approaches to diseases in different life cycles within the regions of Agreste and Sertão de Pernambuco, encompassing traditional communities (indigenous, quilombola, and riverside), as well as rural producers. Emphasis is placed on deriving bioactive products from local biodiversity to develop therapeutic and diagnostic resources and proprietary technology for disease control, prevention, and rehabilitation. This necessitates an integrated approach to establish common concepts from epidemiological, ethnographic, biochemical, genetic, structural, physical-functional, psychosocial, and socioeconomic aspects, all within the perspective of health promotion.
Line 2: Interdisciplinary approaches in education, environment, and health: This line concentrates on interdisciplinary studies of environmental, historical, sociocultural, and bioanthropological aspects that influence endemic-epidemic processes in populations of the Agreste and Sertão regions of Pernambuco. This includes traditional communities (indigenous, quilombola, and riverside) as well as rural producers. The line promotes studies on the national policies concerning human rights and the right to health and environmental quality, with the aim of systematically constructing contextualized alternatives for health improvement through socioenvironmental development. It seeks to understand aspects related to teaching and learning actions, grounded in mechanisms that can promote knowledge to control endemic-epidemic processes, impacting the academic formation of future graduates.
