EEAN

What EEAN does

EEAN (Escola de Enfermagem Anna Nery) is a public nursing school established in 1923 and operating as an academic department within the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), one of Brazil's largest federal public universities. The institution is headquartered at R. Afonso Cavalcanti, 275 in the Cidade Nova neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, and is organized across four academic departments — Fundamental, Materno Infantil, Médico-Cirúrgico, and Saúde Pública — plus a Methodology department, with departmental leadership comprising designated "chefes de departamento" and substitute coordinators. EEAN serves undergraduate students pursuing the bachelor's degree in Nursing and Obstetrics, postgraduate Lato Sensu (specialization) cohorts in areas such as Obstetric Nursing and Sistemas Florais, and Stricto Sensu (master's and doctoral) researchers in nursing and health sciences.

EEAN's academic output is supported by CNPq-recognized research groups, a Publications Ethics Committee (Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa), and the SCIELO-indexed Revista Escola Anna Nery. The school maintains the CEDOC/Museu da EEAN documentation center, an alumni association, and a Research Committee aligned with national health priorities. Clinical training for nursing students is delivered through UFRJ's affiliated university hospital complex, including Hospital Universitário Clementino Fraga Filho, Maternidade Escola, Instituto de Puericultura e Pediatria Martagão Gesteira, Hospital Escola São Francisco de Assis, and the Instituto de Psiquiatria da UFRJ. The undergraduate program received the maximum Conceito (Grade 5) in the national ENADE exam, and the institution celebrated its centenary in 2023 with formal recognition from the Rio de Janeiro City Chamber.

EEAN's revenue model is that of a public federal university department: the institution charges no tuition and operates on Brazilian federal government budget allocations administered through UFRJ and the Ministry of Education (MEC), with postgraduate quality oversight from CAPES. Marketing and enrollment are institutional rather than commercial — students are admitted via public vestibular/selection processes, and communications run through the institutional website (eean.ufrj.br) and UFRJ channels. International engagement includes participation in the Erasmus+ consortium with European and Latin American universities focused on prevention of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial management (December 2023).

Broad incumbents

Regional players

• Escola de Enfermagem Aurora de Afonso Costa (EEAAC-UFF): Nursing school at the Federal Fluminense University in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro state. Regional peer because it operates the same public federal nursing school model but serves a different campus location within the same metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro.
