That work treats all aspects of different instances of curriculum decision making on university postgraduate programmes in Public Health, in the context of health sector and higher education transformations from the eighties and nineties decades in Argentina.

The general characteristics of the educational institutions in which the programmes were dictated have been relieved as well as their objectives, bases and creation year, curriculum structure -hourly load and curricular activities-, teaching methodologies and modalities of monitoring, academic and professional formation of teaching staff and chiefs and degree studies of the students, as well as their previous and subsequent labor insertion after the postgrade studies, inside a labor field in deep transformation.
