The Health Academy Program (PAS), created in 2011, constitutes a Health Promotion
strategy for Brazilian municipalities. With the creation of new health programs or services,
there is a demand for the training of professionals and managers to promote the achievement of
the objectives and expected results for the proposed initiatives. The present study is part of the
project “Health Academy Program: Technical Capabilities for Management” and aimed to
evaluate the learning process carried out in professionals participating in the training in the state
of Tocantins, in its eight regions, with themes focused on Health Promotion, implementation of
PAS and planning. This is a descriptive, critical-reflective study, of a qualitative and
quantitative nature, with analysis of structured questionnaires and discursive exercises based
on the Integrated Model of Assessment of the Impact of Training at Work and on the Integrated
and Summative Assessment Model. Documentary Analysis and participant observation were
also used. The analysis population consisted of 60 individuals, among them, 37 with PAS pole
and 23 from municipalities without program pole. The variables observed were through the
participant's profile, work profile, learning and reaction. Descriptive statistics techniques were
used for quantitative data: measures of central tendency (mean and median) and measures of
dispersion (standard deviation). To assess the normality of the variables, the Shapiro-Wilk test
was performed. The Mann-Whitney test was applied to the variables of the work profile in order
to verify differences between the groups with a PAS pole and without a Program pole. The
learning variables were submitted to the chi-square test and, when classified as right and wrong,
the Wilcoxon test was applied. For the qualitative analysis, the Content Analysis technique was
used from the proposed evaluation mask, with very satisfactory results in two health regions of
Tocantins, five satisfactory and only a scarcity of information, totaling the eight health regions
of the state. The predominant profile of the participants was characterized by age between 20
and 39 years (79.6%), female (58.3%), with complete graduation (91.7%), specialization
(85.7%), bond temporary employment (53.3%), management function (60.4%) and maximum
work of 5 years in the health area (63.3%). In learning, there was greater success about the
implementation and implementation of the PAS, regarding the program legislation (p=0.0061),
pole characteristics (p=0.0400) and activities developed (p=0.0125) with emphasis in the
correct alternatives. Thus, the proposed training demonstrated significant learning, whose
process of Permanent Education in Health is of fundamental importance so that the
professionals of the PAS can make improvements in the service of the users of the Program
with the increase of adhesion, quality of offer, diversities of actions developed and the emphasis
on the axes of the program from the aspects of Health Promotion.
