==Political career== Chioro was appointed to the role of Minister of Health on 3 February 2014, but on 21 February he was exonerated from the position of Minister of Health to take up the position of professor at Federal University of São Paulo. The procedure was part of a bureaucratic procedure, since he could not take office as a teacher already in a public position, however, as a teacher, he can accumulate the position of minister. Hence, Chioro's appointment as health minister took place after taking office as a teacher. The Secretary of Labor and Health Education Management, Mozart Sales, took over on an interim basis.<ref>{{cite web|title=Chioro é exonerado da Saúde para tomar posse em universidade|url=https://g1.globo.com/politica/noticia/2014/02/chioro-e-exonerado-da-saude-para-tomar-posse-em-universidade.html|date=21 February 2014|accessdate=19 February 2020|publisher=G1 Globo|language=Portuguese}}</ref>
