Changes in health education over recent decades have been on the political agenda of the Brazilian government, in the fields of methodology and pedagogy, with projects for curriculum restructuring so as to move closer to healthcare services. Healthcare training is examined in this article starting from some concept tools, with linkage to four tensions present in this area: training as a betterment movement; training as a field of living work; training as experience; and training as creation. The purpose of this study was to examine the tensions presented, starting from theoretical meeting points, aligned with production of conceptual tools with the power to install new practices in healthcare education. The analysis indicates the creative potential that micropolitics has within the training process. As the main element, it expands experience and the capacity to discern other ingredients and other territories within pedagogical action.
