Specialization has brought about a rupture between health and education, a binomial today being rescued as a necessary combination. The aim of this article is to show the importance of rearticulating these two areas. To this purpose, a bibliographic research was carried out for defining the role education plays for the physician and for health. Education allows the physician to improve his communication skills, language and autonomy. Education turns it easier for him to establish good doctor-patient relationships and increases his ability to provide professional guidance to people. thus returning to him his function as an educator. Education of the population, on the other hand, is a condition for the success of health prevention and promotion campaigns because they depend on the understanding and active participation of the public. Schools need to include health-related subjects such as environment, toxic habits, sex, birth control, hygiene, physical exercise, nutrition, first aid and traffic in their curriculum. Medical schools should offer their students subjects that complement their professional education and the schools should incorporate subjects related to the health and well-being of the population. Education and health are social demands that must be assured by the State. The people are entitled to enjoy these rights but have the duty to contribute to their concretization.
