The Unified Health System (UHS) has among its prerogatives the organization of ways for training human resources for
health. To meet this commitment, the Ministries of Health and Education have “structural inter actions” to promote the
reorientation of professional practices through training and development strategies of health professionals in line with the
UHS principles and guidelines. Among the initiatives we highlight: the National program of reorientation of professional
training in health, the in-service Educational program for health, UHS Open University and Telessaude Brazil (distance
health assistance). This paper proposes a reflection on the importance of the interrelationship between the theoretical and
methodological principles of the Education Policy for Permanent Education in Health and Humanization as a way for
structuring proposals relating to the aforementioned interministerial actions and their contribution in the preparation of
professionals to carry out the Primary Health Care (PHC) in order to promote health. For this, we reflect on the origins and
development of training and humanization, guided by the understanding that the actors must mobilize changes in and for
the work process which promote the restructuring of the curriculum in order to produce similarities between teaching and
service. We conclude that interministerial devices are strategies that encourage the participation of managers, employees,
users and teaching institutions for promoting changes that may impact on the consolidation of an integral, humanized and
effective public health system, but emphasize the need for changes in the social and political sectors for this to be effective.
