The pedagogical preparation of educators in the health area, in the face of the demands of contemporary education and of the Brazilian curriculum guidelines, is directly related to the training of professionals to meet the needs of the Unified Health System. Based on this premise, this study investigates the training profile, the bases of the action, and the pedagogical planning of the professor of nursing who is the advisor of the internship in Collective Health at colleges in two mid-western municipalities in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, under the light of the public policies of education and health. The data obtained were submitted to thematic content analysis. The analysis showed that the pedagogical practice of the 11 professors surveyed was influenced by the institutional culture of Brazilian higher education. Routine activities were modeled based on biological science contents, organized under the aegis of nursing care; on oral and reproductive biomedical techniques; on the disarticulation between theory and practice, and on the isolation of teaching. It was concluded that the teaching skills in the educational, organizational, and relational dimensions need to be enhanced towards the planning of pedagogical action, approaching the theoretical and philosophical references of the UHS and contemporary education, seeking an integrated, collective, democratic, and practice promoting health and quality of life.
