Ab s tract The pa per disc u s ses the rel eva n ce and vi a bility on spreading ped a go gic capacity throu ghout the SUS. It is a way of acco m plishing one of the most impo rtant goals of the Brazilian health policy: tra n sfo rming the pu blic health services a locus of teaching-learning throu gh wo rking. The co n cept of Perm a n ent Education in Health hel p s the appraisal of this task. It is not a case for prolonging the time pe ople wo rk in health services, but for inten s i f i c a tion of the rel a tionship between edu c a tion and health care in the area of knowled ge and pra ctices in health.

In a short peri od of only 16 months the Pólos ga t hered 1.122 different regional orga n i z a ti o n s , f i n a lly putting in practice the article 14 of the Orga n i c
Health Law. The creation of t h e se new devi ces was n ot a formal act; it impl i ed rega rding edu c a tion of professionals and health wo rkers as a priority. As this pa per shows for the first time edu c a tion was n ot tre a ted as a means but as a final policy goal.
