Curriculum guidelines for health and alterations in health and education models

Article produced from bibliographic research and questions formulated for a conference in the “Education in Health II” module in the Northeastern Network of Family Health Training, Professional Master’s program. The paper discusses questions from health and education fields related to the emergence of new health and training models; it analyses the National Curriculum Guidelines (NCG) from three courses in the health area (Medical School, Nursing and Dentistry) as expression of these new models for health and education. A crosscutting issue to the article is the relationship between health and education fields. For this purpose, we resorted to the field concept, developed by the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. It is still considered the challenge of transforming the NCG in curriculums and programs, tools or devices necessary to transfer what is written to the teaching and learning scenarios.
