The work of professional in the health area depends on the technical quality and on establishing personal interaction. His/her training should provide subsidies so that egress from this area can make use of humanist features on exercising his/her professional practice. Supported by the theoretical contribution of Carl Rogers, we aim at verifying the presence of humanist conception in the educational practices of teachers of the health area in a university in MG. We opted for a qualitative approach, with bibliographical and field research. Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire administered to 41teachers from 5 health courses. We could observe the scarce presence of humanist proposals: the Pedagogical Projects of the courses, which advocate a student-centered teaching with faculty facilitators and meaningful learning. In teaching pedagogical practices outlined in the way teacher organize the content, how he/she evaluates, plans, interacts with students and makes use of teaching strategies.
