Although collective health, in offering the professional master's degree, seeks to train critical scientists capable of evidencing specific facts by understanding localized situations, seeking solutions and proposing improvements to their work environment, it is evident that the combination of research effectiveness and applicability in public health services, still faces invisibilities on the part of Brazilian evaluation bodies. One of the ways to identify this double objective of the Professional Master in Public Health (MPSC) is to bring the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) closer to their graduates. In this sense obtaining information on the training received will serve as a subsidy for the improvement of graduate programs in the HEIs. Therefore, the objective of our study was to evaluate the use of an online platform called PortalEgressos by graduates of an MPSC. The research was carried out in Goiânia-GO, from October 2019 to December 2020, and 92 students from the classes of 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017 were invited to participate. It was a retrospective, descriptive cross-sectional study, exploratory, of the type mixed research with qualitative approach and description of quantitative data. For data collection, the program's registration forms and the information entered by the graduates in the PortalEgressos platform were used from February to June 2020, obeying ethical aspects. The data analysis was carried out through statistical tests and content analysis, according to Bardin, 2011. Through the registration form, the profile of the 92 graduates was drawn, a heterogeneous population, with a varied age range, (22–59 years old), with a majority female representation, most of them are linked to the public health service and the research line with the greatest quantitative of interest was “Management processes in Health services”. In PortalEgressos, in the “about me” tab, it was observed, from the analysis of the perception of the 26 respondents, that the MPSC contributed to their work activities in the health service, improved their critical perceptions and based on theoretical concepts that help in decision making. In the “Interview” tab, 18 participants evaluated performance and expectations regarding the course that said, Wilcoxon test showed the existence of a significant difference between the pairs in questions 3, 4, 7 and 21, in order to elucidate, thus, that there are still gaps to be investigated and improved in the course. Thus, through a virtual tool, aspects could be extracted, with proof of its usefulness in following the graduate, being the instrument of data collection and its analysis as a technical product, that contains the proposal for improvements to the process of evaluation and monitoring of the course.
