O artigo sintetiza alguns resultados de pesquisa documental, especificamente de um de seus objetivos, o de discutir o ensino de ética e bioética no processo de formação de médicos e enfermeiros, a partir da mediação textual levantada em documentos acadêmicos e produção científica sobre temas relacionados. Adotou-se a abordagem pós-estruturalista de Michel Foucault, utilizando-se como fonte documentos acadêmicos dos cursos de enfermagem e medicina de quatro universidades federais do sul do país. Discutiu-se a inserção dos temas éticos/bioéticos nas propostas de formação profissional com o intuito de problematizar o modo como os desdobramentos (estratégicos e tecnológicos) deste discurso penetram no processo de construção dos sujeitos trabalhadores da saúde e geram determinados modos de conceber e intervir destes sujeitos. Ressalta-se a condição da bioética como um saber silenciado e invisibilizado, mas não menos produtivo, pela forma como seu potencial questionador e crítico é reduzido a um conjunto de formulações deslocadas de seu entorno de debate. Tal condição relaciona elementos do processo de emergência do discurso da bioética com as rotas já desenhadas para o que historicamente se definiu como formação ética desses profissionais.

This article analyzes the qualifications of dental office attendant (DOA) and dental hygiene technician (DHT) graduates, seeking to understand the importance technical courses have not only in improving their professional performance, individual and family incomes, but also their impact on these professionals' better placement in the work market. It shows that, despite the deficiencies these graduates mention, their schooling qualified them appropriately to perform their duties. However, the difficulties these professionals face in terms of collective representation, the lack of social prestige, and the low levels of professional credibility and respect they get from dentists remain hurdles to be faced. The lack of professional legitimacy that characterizes their work causes dental care assistance workers to be at the mercy of work market and health policy oscillations. The article claims that regulating these worker categories may not only lead to technical and ethical protection and to preventing professional monopoly formation, but also ensure social equality and justice norms for oral health professionals.

The goal of this article is to reconstruct the recent history of community health agent professionalization in the ambit of the family health strategy, developing articulated analyses of professional education and labor management policies via political processes that have been developed, the strategies that have been deployed, the norms that have been established, and the legislation that has been produced. This article also reflects on the Federal Labor Prosecutor's Office performance in this process and of the challenges in the political scenario of these workers' organized movement, particularly on the National Community Health Agents' Confederation, aiming at these workers' actual technical qualification and at regulating their access and employment ties.

This article covers the theoretical and practical aspects involved in a Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp) extension project called Corporality and Health Promotion, the main purpose of which is to articulate actions in the fields of teaching, assistance, and research. This project is aimed at providing undergraduate and graduate students learning and experience opportunities in the field of health education with adolescents; providing the elaboration of teaching technologies that will be used to guide adolescents in the theme; undertake educational activities among students, teenagers and young people who attend social projects and public schools; develop research projects among the services that will revert to new teaching, intervention, and know-ledge generation practices. The project is carried out in the health promotion field, by means of actions that emphasize issues related to the body and to sexuality and aimed at teenagers and young people who attend elementary and high schools in Embu, State of São Paulo.

This article reflects on competency assessments in technical nursing education, their implications, challenges, and propositions as a way to integrate the views those involved have regarding the health teaching-learning process. Assessment as a path towards possible transformation and emancipation qualifies and dignifies teaching and learning. The words used in the assessment, when used to inspire acts of care, may give the apprentice autonomy, allow educators to undertake reviews, lead to satisfaction and security among caregivers, to comfort and happiness among users, and to quality for both health services and for the health system.
