The scarcity of specialized content in distant cities and the lack of preparation for graduation are some of the factors for the evolution of this demand. One of the examples of preparatory courses – known popularly as courses – is the SJT Medical Education. "For 15 years, had on the market entry of 10000 graduates. Currently, this number rose to 22000. About 80% of those who wish to enter into any residency, which often are extremely popular, "said the General Director of the DCI SJT medical education course, Daniel Galelli.

"Currently we have 186 units. We have priority cities in the North and northeast of the country for the development of these courses, such as Salvador and Goiânia, where there is population growth as well, "he argued. Without revealing the number of students enrolled, the account executive the demand grows 20% to 25% annually. In addition, most students begin to perform preparatory modules – which have variation in prices between R $300 $1500 reais until R from the junior year of undergraduate.

For her, with the tendency to course expansion to Brazil's most remote regions, the natural movement is that the use of distance learning (ODL) is more frequent in these locations.
