The State of the Art technique investigates the object of study, categorizing it to best approach and understanding, allowing us to grasp with greater detail the object of this research. The Social Work graduate has become over the years an important place both for the university and for the professional category that the course is in order to routinely assist in the training and professional work as well in the design and (re) structuring social policies. The graduate program in Social Work (PPGSS) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte has been strengthened in fifteen years of existence (2000-2015), with frequent inclusion of students from other areas, adding to the character program integration with other fields of knowledge, thereby contributing to studies with larger theoretical rigor and expressive critical reflection, intrinsic characteristics of Social Services, discussing issues of social relevance that underlie the most varied fields of activity of the social worker and other professions working together with this, such as health. The purpose was to analyze the health dissertations in fourteen years of existence of the postgraduate program (2000-2014), given that the year 2015 is still in progress and data would not be complete. Thus, exposure of the content was based on indicators from the analysis of data collection, as most discussed topics and the economic, political and social context that permeates as well as the theoretical and methodological perspectives that are most used by masters to build a theoretical debate that deepens the concept of each perspective used. Apart from questioning on health, the subject of significant relevance to interact directly with all other fields of life of the subjects, and thus with the set of social policies, we sought to analyze the postgraduate context in general and Also as has been structuring the PPGSS / UFRN, considering what challenges need to be addressed and what growth alternatives can be shown from this study. As a result, there is a predominance of studies that bring the historical and dialectical materialism of Marx as a theoretical and methodological fundamentals and also that the nature of bibliographical research has been gaining attention in the social sciencesporAcesso AbertoEstado da arteSaúdeServiço SocialDissertaçõesPPGSSmasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::SERVICO SOCIAL
