The Nursing course of Bahiana received grade 5, the highest grade from the Ministry of Education (MEC). To grant the grade, initially, the MEC's ​​evaluation committee was received by the direction of the Bahiana and by the Nursing and Postgraduate, Research and Extension coordinations. In this first moment, there was a presentation of the course, its political-pedagogical project and the Training Selection Process.

During the visit, the committee composed of MEC members visited the facilities where the course works, including classrooms, computer and skills labs, library, cafeteria, in addition to the internship environments at Hospital São Rafael and point of practice at Pastoral da Child, in Cabula, where students serve young people and teenagers in the community, through the Candeal Program.

MEC members also met with professors and students, when they could hear their impressions about the course and the Formative Selection Process of Bahiana. "The evaluators were very satisfied in these meetings with the professors and students, as they were able to see the conformity between their statements and what was presented at the meeting with the direction of the Bahiana and the coordinators. In the case of teachers, it was clear that we built a political-pedagogical project with the participation of everyone and, for the students, the value we give to humanistic training was also proven, from the Training Selection Process”, explained the course coordinator, Prof. .ª Maria de Lourdes de Freitas Gomes.

Finally, all documentation related to the Nursing course was evaluated, taking into account the curricular and extension activities.
