Since 2008, the course of studies of Biochemistry at Universidad Nacional del Sur (UNS), has incorporated into its curriculum the degree course of Professional Practice for biochemists (PPB) and implemented a mechanism to monitor graduates’ careers, designing a multiple choice questionnaire that was sent to 457 graduates and answered by 213 (47%) of them. From the analysis of those answers one year after finishing the PPB and at the moment, it stands out that 31% and 37% work in a hospital laboratory; ; 20.6% and 25.4% in a private outpatient hospital; 0.5% and 6.6% in their own laboratory; 18.8% and 8.9% are doing the biochemistry residence; 4.7% and 2.8% are doing university teaching and research; 1.9% and 3.8% non-university teaching and that 22.5% and 16% respectively do not have a job. Regarding their domicile, a year after finishing, 46.5% lived in Bahía Blanca and currently, 40.8%; followed by other cities inside Buenos Aires province, and finally the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. The objective of this work is to share information of graduates of the Biochemistry course of studies obtained 10 years after the incorporation of the PPB, considering that this research process is a starting point that has the graduate as a source of information and will encourage debates in academic commissions and of university policies.
