The entire sector’s public policy set requires adapting training for health work considering the social health needs and system management problems In this sense, the teaching-service and academic institutions integration is important, especially public universities, implementing research in the area and elaborating concepts of care practices in health. Pró-Saúde and PET-Saúde from FACISA develop articulated works in nursing, nutrition and physiotherapy courses, which points to a broad and diverse field of knowledge This interaction tends to allow greater interaction between teachers, professionals and students with a view to generate a more critical and reflexive formation in favor of the user provided care quality. The report aims to contribute to the demonstration of the actions proposed by Pró-Saúde and PET-Saúde, Cegonha Network from FACISA/UFRN and for understanding the working dynamic that has generated reflective processes in the different actors of this process
