Changing movements in health higher education: from community medicine to the activators course

This paper aims to ponder over the various pro-change initiatives in health higher education in Brazil. A historical analysis is needed since prior experiences systematization and diffusion are important on attempting to build new pro-change proposals. Today we are pondering over active processes of teaching-learning because we have experienced proposals such as Community Medicine, the Professor Integrative Assistence Project, the PROUNI Program, the Rede UNIDA movement, the Curricular Guideline Law, Permanent Education in Health and the Activators' course. There is no need to discover the wheel all the time. It can be adapted and start to spin again. Taking a look into the past experiences and into the present needs helps in building a desirable future.
