Abstract

This article correlates educational data from 66 Amazonian physiotherapist researchers with their scientific production. The data show that only 24.2% are doctors, 50% had studied at the graduate level in the Amazon region, and 13% had graduate study in the physiotherapy area, in all cases outside of the Amazon region. It was found that the scientific production is concentrated in journals Qualis B. We believe that the way for the physiotherapist of the region to produce knowledge oriented to the Physical Therapy area and also related to the local reality is through the strengthening of scientific initiation programs and the inter-institutional union of capabilities in order to implement stricto sensu graduate programs in physiotherapy in the Amazon region.
