Abstract

The article approaches the emergence of a knowledge domain as interface or intersection between the sectors of health and education in the public politics and between the areas of the scientific knowledge of the Education (of the Professionals of Health) and of the Public Health. This domain was designated by Health Education and Teaching, having its emergence demonstrated by the movements in the Education (change in the education of the health professionals), in the Health (health care reform) and in the society (constitution of guidelines of management for the work in the area of the health). A block of time between 1985 and 2007 can be perceived that established a historical and epistemic passage of evidence and vigour for this domain. It is concluded that the time has come, made by conceptual, politics and pragmatic accumulation, of conformation of a territory of potentialities for the knowing and the practices concerning specifically to the formation and the development of professionals of the health.
