EERP

What EERP does

EERP (Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto), legally the Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing at the University of São Paulo, is a public, government-owned higher-education institution located in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil. It is one of five academic units on the USP Ribeirão Preto campus, alongside Medicine, Economics, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Odontology, and Philosophy, and operates a 66,375m² land footprint with 11,761m² of built area.

The institution's core offering is nursing education and research: 549 undergraduate students and 423 graduate students are enrolled across bachelor's, master's, doctoral, and post-doctoral programs, supported by 101 faculty and 101 non-faculty staff. EERP holds a WHO Collaborating Centre designation for Nursing Research Development and participates in PAHO's Pan-American Network of 18 collaborating centres; it also hosts the Rho Upsilon Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International and operates as the Ribeirão Preto station of the Rede Observatório de Recursos Humanos em Saúde. Its most visible knowledge product is the RLAE (Revista Latino-Americana de Enfermagem) journal, which carries CAPES QUALIS A1 classification, a Scopus H-index of 56, and a 2024 JCR Impact Factor of 1.3.

EERP is funded through São Paulo state and USP appropriations and charges no tuition to domestic students; it has no commercial revenue model, no external investors, and no subsidiaries. Its go-to-market is event-driven rather than commercial — recruitment flows through Brazil's national entrance examinations (ENEM/FUVEST), with community outreach programs such as 'Universitário por um Dia' feeding the top of the funnel and international exchange agreements supporting cross-border academic participation. Technology infrastructure consists of clinical simulation laboratories and the institutional Moodle USP learning management system; no proprietary commercial technology or AI/ML capability is disclosed.
