The objective of this study is to understand and problematize the term 'integral' in professional education and health. This term is related to ways to produce health in the core of the services and in education with total access to the knowledge involved in work and education. In health care, the relationship between the professional, with his techniques and knowledge, and the user with his needs and desire to return to autonomy, is one of the areas that points o the integrality of production in health. It is in this environment that professionals and users have power and autonomy and can cooperate or compete. In the study, we used a literature-based qualitative bibliography. Through successive readings of the bibliographic material, we produced an argumentative discussion between different theoretical references in the areas of health and education. In the end, it was possible to identify the different ties that constitute the integrality in health education.
