NASSAR, LEONARDO MASO; COUTO, MARIA HELENA DA COSTA  y  PEREIRA JUNIOR, GERSON ALVES. PUBLIC FUNDING (FIES AND PROUNI) FOR MEDICAL TEACHING IN BRAZIL: A LITERATURE REVIEW AND THE DISTORTIONS CREATED. Educ. rev. [online]. 2021, vol.37, e25246.  Epub 04-Ago-2021. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-469825246.

Pressure from society, following the expansion of private higher education, resulted in the creation of FIES and PROUNI. With the increase in the number of new medical schools as a result of the More Doctors Program Law, new pressures may occur due to vacant seats, student default, or the reduction of government incentives. The objective of this article is to map the studies on student financing for higher education in Brazil and to conduct a discussion relating the findings to the situation of undergraduate medical education in Brazil. The method used was the Scooping review of the Joanna Briggs Institute with the descriptors: government financing, privatization and academic institutions. 134 articles were found for a final selection of 11 papers. The results showed the importance of government aid for private educational organizations, encouraging the expansion of the segment. For medical education, private expansion is a cause for concern due to the questionable quality of many institutions.
