Trabalho, Educação e Saúde - TES (Work, Education and Health) is an open access scientific journal, edited by the Joaquim Venâncio Polytechnic School of Health, from Oswaldo Cruz Foundation.
The current discussion on education and health has shown the need for greater integration between health services and the academy. The National Policy of Permanent Health Education proposed the dissemination of pedagogical capacity in the National Health System, so that the public health system would become a teaching and learning space while one performs his or her work. The goal was to get to know the process of integration between education and health services in Primary Health Care, from the actions of professors in the training process of students in the undergraduate courses in health care at the Federal University Rio Grande do Norte. Semi-structured interviews and direct observation were the techniques chosen, and data analysis, based on the hermeneutic-dialectic approach, showed that the professor's performance is an important strategy to facilitate integration between teaching and service. The conclusion points to the realization that the professionals involved in teaching are educated while they educate, and that the educational process is permeated by heterogeneous knowledge and experience, a highly favorable factor for the training of students and professionals.
