A 47-item questionnaire collected data on demographics, training, professional practice, academic productivity, and program impact. Statistical comparisons were performed using \uab532 or Fisher\u2019s exact tests and the Mann-Whitney U test (p<0.05).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Results<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Of the 332 eligible alumni, 172 completed the questionnaire (51.8%). The mean age was 43 years; 53.5% were men, and 69.8% were physicians. Postgraduate training was considered fundamental by 51.2% and highly impactful by 37.2, and 74.4% would certainly pursue it again. Physicians were older, had higher scientific output, and more frequently held academic and leadership positions. Non-physicians were predominantly women, received a higher number of scholarships, and more frequently reported positive career changes. Among physicians, those with surgical training had higher income, more academic titles, and were more often based in S\u00e3o Paulo, whereas those with clinical training reported more professional opportunities.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Postgraduate training in Sciences in the field of Gastroenterology, had a relevant positive impact on academic and professional development, with differences according to baseline training and professional profile.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Background<br \/>\nPostgraduate education is essential for training highly qualified health professionals; however, there is a lack of studies in Brazil evaluating career outcomes of gastroenterology alumni.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6726,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-review-article"],"acf":{"authors":[{"author_name":"FONSECA, Gilton Marques","orcid_id":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7260-0799"},{"author_name":"MARTUCCI, Rafaela Maria Zacchi","orcid_id":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-3847-8611"},{"author_name":"JUKEMURA, Jos\u00e9","orcid_id":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3943-7088"},{"author_name":"OLIVEIRA, Claudia Pinto Marques Souza","orcid_id":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2848-417X"},{"author_name":"FARIAS, Alberto Queiroz","orcid_id":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5572-663X"},{"author_name":"RIBEIRO JUNIOR, Ulysses","orcid_id":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1711-7347"},{"author_name":"HERMAN, Paulo","orcid_id":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2859-5846"}],"doi":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1590\/0102-672020260000021e1950","buttons":{"pdf_-_en":6727,"pdf_-_pt":null,"external_link":"https:\/\/www.scielo.br\/j\/abcd\/a\/Fd37wP4cYxnTVCH4QVBxQ4v\/?lang=en","external_link_pt":"","full_text":"","jats_xml":null},"volume_and_issue":{"article-volume":"2026 - vol. 39","article-issue":"Issue 1"}},"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistaabcd.org.br\/pt-br\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistaabcd.org.br\/pt-br\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistaabcd.org.br\/pt-br\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistaabcd.org.br\/pt-br\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistaabcd.org.br\/pt-br\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6728"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistaabcd.org.br\/pt-br\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6728\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistaabcd.org.br\/pt-br\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistaabcd.org.br\/pt-br\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistaabcd.org.br\/pt-br\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistaabcd.org.br\/pt-br\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
