ABSTRACT
To discuss the training experience in common of the Health Work axis, of the Federal University of São Paulo, a qualitative study was outlined conducted through a focus group, with graduates of the nutrition course. Tensions were evident not only between the specific and the common in professional practices, but in the conception of clinical and care. Important effects on training were reported, as the activities of the axis invited the creation and invention of other modes of care practices in nutrition, from contamination/combination of professional areas, moving away from normative practices, insufficient to handle the complexity of food and nutrition, nowadays.
