This work seeks to report the continuing education offered by UFMA's Codó campus, using a bibliographic approach to investigate the implementation of new courses specific to this objective. The institution has played a significant role in promoting the quality of education in the municipality and in the continued training of professionals in the Cocais region. According to data from the cooperation of the specialization course to which this study will be presented, a first class formed by 23 specialists, and a second class is currently underway.
