Uma reflex?o sobre os múltiplos sentidos da docência em saúde

摘要

The aims of this study were to analyze the relationships among the fields of knowledge that create healthcare teachers' identity, and to place value on understanding the social relations and positions that mark out teaching practices as elements that may or may not contribute towards implementation of the current proposals for transforming the healthcare training processes, starting from the ethical and political parameters of the Brazilian National Health System (SUS). Recognition of such relationships makes the presupposition of seeking to construct a new culture within undergraduate healthcare courses, thereby placing importance on the knowledge that identifies teachers who, on very many occasions, give shape to university pedagogical processes.
