For this study, we heard university level professors on the subject of their daily pedagogical practices, with a view to finding possible distinctive features in their teaching. Relying of the thematic oral history methodology, we interviewed eleven professors, coordinators and directors. The interviews were taped and later transcribed, checked, converted into running text and re-written. The results were split into three blocks: on becoming a teacher and on remarkable teachers; on teaching strategies; and on coordinators and directors' duties. The conclusions, also grouped into the three blocks, from which we drew some final inferences, proved to be promising in relation to thinking about initial training and the continued education of professionals from the healthcare area, in connection with the field of university level teaching.
