Abstract
Continuing education in health proposes the creation of collective spaces to lead health workers to reflect on and evaluate their actions in daily life in order to seek the transformation of health and education practices. This article proposes a discussion on continuing education based on the considerations made by the Family Health Strategy workers with regard to the processes of their professional activity. A qualitative study using the focal group technique was developed for the discussion. As a result, it was found that the health professionals' reflection about the reality of their own daily work allowed for a discussion on continuing education and, thus, the onset of a process of changing their practices.
