Integration between teaching and service affords better training to teachers, students, and to health service professionals, and, as such, ensures quality actions and services are provided to the population. This study aimed to refocus the training of professionals taking courses at the Health Sciences Center at Sagrado Coração University, in Bauru, state of São Paulo, Brazil, in line with the National Reorientation Program for Vocational Training in Health II. These courses' curricula were reorganized, including adjustments made to teaching in accordance with social and labor market demands and the incorporation of new educational technologies. Based on this analysis, we created a group of subjects common to all health courses taught at the institution, i.e., an identity that characterizes the profile of the professional graduating from the Health Sciences Center at Sagrado Coração University was developed. The results were the training of a professional competent to act as a manager and multiplier of the NHS principles, the improvement of the training process of the professionals in service, and the promotion of multidisciplinary work. For users, meanwhile, the results translate in improvements in the quality of the services received.
