The Empresa Brasileira de Serviços Hospitalares (EBSERH) has officially announced the opening of 545 job positions through its recent public competition. This initiative, which aims to strengthen the healthcare system, is being organized by the Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV) and was detailed on December 18, 2024, when the edital was published.
The job openings are categorized across multiple fields, including medical, assistive, and administrative roles, spread over 45 federal university hospitals and the central administration of EBSERH. According to Natália Pires, writing for Direção Concursos, "EBSERH's new public competition offers 545 job openings across various areas." Of these positions, 198 are allocated for medical specialists, 330 for assistive roles, and 17 for administrative functions.
Prospective candidates can expect competitive salaries, with initial earnings ranging from R$2,707.15 for certain positions to as much as R$21,215.58 for senior roles. This enhanced pay scale is accompanied by additional benefits, including transportation and food allowances, alongside health plans. This wide range of attractive incentives is expected to draw considerable interest from applicants.
The selection process for these positions consists of objective tests primarily made up of multiple-choice questions. According to the sources, "The competition is necessary to fulfill the growing demand for professionals at federal university hospitals." The exams will take place not only in the cities where the EBSERH units are located but also across all state capitals. The registration period for interested candidates runs from December 20, 2024, to January 20, 2025, when they can formally express their intent to participate by registering online via the FGV website.
Candidates will be required to meet specific qualifications to apply, including being at least 18 years old and having the necessary academic credentials for the positions sought. This is particularly important as the increase of qualified professionals is seen as central to addressing the needs of the healthcare system.
On the technical side, the competition will include both objective assessments as well as discursive components, with the latter requiring written responses from candidates depending on the level of the position. The design means higher educational brackets will have more extensive evaluation formats, which could include essays or detailed analytical tasks.
Besides the structured assessment, the EBSERH competition seeks to establish its importance within the pública health sphere, especially as federal university hospitals continue to cater to millions of patients every year. The demand for staff within these hospitals has been rising consistently, and filling these roles is seen as invaluable to sustaining service quality and availability.
While the competition is likely to attract many applicants, some roles are projected to be particularly sought after. Medical roles, especially for specialties such as anesthesiology, surgery, and internal medicine stand out as leaders for interest. Similarly, nursing positions, especially those focused on intensive care and women’s health, are expected to see high application rates.
To prepare for this public competition, specialists suggest candidates adopt strategic study and preparation techniques. This includes laying out detailed study schedules, focusing heavily on the required disciplines from the edital, and familiarizing themselves with the current state of affairs concerning public health topics.
The EBSERH was established as part of Brazil's commitment to enhancing its public healthcare framework. Created by Law No. 12.550 on December 15, 2011, the organization supports free medical services and educational needs within the health sector.
With this latest public competition, EBSERH not only aims to fill its vacuums but also reaffirms its dedication to providing quality healthcare services to Brazilian citizens through the federal university hospitals.
