Abstract

The objective of this bibliographic study is to understand how Social Work has faced the process of revising the professional education offered for work in healthcare. It begins with the understanding of what is a healthcare profession, locating Social Work and its ties with the field and highlighting educational aspects. In this way, it verifies that it is legitimate to configure Social Work as a healthcare profession, both from a conceptual and practical perspective, revealed by the historic ties of the profession and its social utility in healthcare services. It also points to the challenges to professional activity in the conflictive context of Brazilian healthcare policy and its implications for professional education.
