The Reorientation Program for Vocational Training in Health (Pro-Health) was established by the Ministry of Health, through the Secretary of Labor Management and Health Education (SGTES), in partnership with the Department of Higher Education (SESU), with the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research Teixeira (INEP), Ministry of Education and with support from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). It was created to stimulate the process of reorientation training of undergraduate health care, aiming to provide skilled professionals to meet the needs of the population and the operationalization of the SUS. In this work we use as the research object the Pro-Health, aiming at analyzing the theoretical and methodological assumptions that support the two axes Program - Theoretical and Pedagogical Guidance. This is an exploratory and descriptive that had as a primary source, documents prepared and published by official bodies linked to the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education. For the construction of theoretical mark was production used theoretics critique of two fields of knowledge: education and health. In health, we seek a benchmark for understanding the disease process health, an of the constituent elements of Orientation Theoric Axis. Already the field of education contributed with referential for understanding and analyzing Pedagogical Orientation axis, which focuses on the methodological aspects of the learning process. The benchmark was based health studies Asa Cristina Laurell and Jaime Breilh. These show the health illness as social determinants. Regarding the education sector were adopted theoretical constructions of Dermeval Saviani (Historical Critical Pedagogy) and Newton Duarte (critical constructivism) to perform the analyzes for the teaching-learning process. Also in this field Edilson Moreira de Oliveira, José Luís Vieira de Andrade and Maria Eliza Brefere Arnoni contributed theoretical contributions to the analysis of the theme of questioning in teaching-learning process. The results of the study are presented in three chapters. The first chapter takes place on a track the training of workers in the health field. In the second, there are explicit the historical background and the conformation of the National Reorientation of Vocational Training in Health (Pro-Health) and in the third chapter, we present the analyzes about the theoretical and methodological foundations of the two axes of the Pro- Health objects of this research. Among the findings highlight the adoption of the Social Determinants of Health, World Health Organization (WHO) as a reference for explaining the disease process, and constructivism as current theory and method of teaching and learning that supports the pedagogical axis Program.
