| Summary: | Objective: To characterize the availability of vacancies for physical education professionals in Multiprofessional Residency in Health (Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde - RMS) programs and describe the supply in programs developed in Primary Health Care regarding distribution among Brazilian states. Methods: This is an exploratory study based on data obtained in 2023 through the Access to Information Law provided by the Ministry of Education. Results: 9,621 positions were identified in different professional categories, of which 244 were allocated to physical education professionals, representing 2.5% of the total. Analyzing the distribution by Brazilian regions, the Northeast had the highest number of positions (45.9%), while the North had the lowest (3.7%). The analysis revealed that most positions for physical education professionals are concentrated in ‘Family Health’, ‘Public Health’, and ‘Basic Care’ programs, accounting for 67.2% of the total. Nationally, most of these positions are offered in capital cities (76.0%). At the state level, Mato Grosso do Sul, Ceará, and Pernambuco stand out, accounting for nearly 46.4% of the total positions. Conclusion: The results indicate a low availability of positions for physical education professionals and limitations in distribution across states and regions. It is suggested that the National RMS Policy be strengthened, focusing on underrepresented areas, attention to the regional and state-level distribution of positions, and better coordination for integrating RMS graduates into qualified work within the Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde – SUS).
