This essay presents a reflection of several authors involved in the debate on professional education in health. The text uses poststructuralist framework to discuss the boundaries of education as a window to the forces of the ‘événement’ (event). It proposes that learning occurs not only through formal institutional lines, but as product of the strength of encounters and drifts. The factors of exposure to difference are those giving consistency to the figure of a “pedagogy” of vulnerability. The continuity of the policies of health education regulation is questioned, as opposed to the loopholes in the education processes that occur in daily life. The text points to the force of a health education proposal that is ethically and politically committed to life as a permanent becoming and ‘événement’ (event).
