Abstract

This descriptive study with a qualitative approach aimed to examine the integration between teaching and care
from the perspective of health professionals, at teaching health institutions where undergraduate health courses from a
private university hold their traineeships, located in Fortaleza-CE, Brazil. Twenty health professionals were interviewed. Four
thematic analysis categories emerged from the participants’ statements: teaching-care integration; health professionals’
contribution in the students’ teaching-learning process; activities developed by faculty members within the institution and
strategies for strengthening partnerships with the care service. According to the results, the health professionals’ relation
with the faculty members is quite positive and their contributions are related to the willingness to favor the teacher/student
practice area. As the teaching-care integration involves much more complex structural and conjuncture issues, moments of
reflection are needed about how to articulate these apparently disconnected contexts – university and services.
