Workforce planning, successful experiences and alternatives in inter-ministerial programs show a policy of professional training in health with an international influence on the health paradigm for tackling social inequalities (WHO, 2006). Importance of the research lies in the analysis of the health needs of the population with no answers. Guiding question inserts the dissociated character between the professional training model of higher education schools in health and the work redefined by the Unified Health System (SUS). Integrative Bibliographic Review of documents related to the model of training through health work in the database of the Virtual Health Library (VHL), Mapping of Interministerial Programs to design the model for reorienting the National Policy for Permanent Education in Health (PNEPS) and National Curricular Guidelines (DCN's).
