The study aimed to get to know the views of professors, students, and professionals at basic health units on the teaching-work integration at the College of Medical Sciences and Health at the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo. The study sample consisted of 14 professors, 36 sixth year students, and 38 professionals from six partner units, who answered a semi-structured questionnaire on the teaching-work integration and its evolution. The discursive replies were analyzed using the collective subject discourse technique, while the answers to closed questions were analyzed based on frequency distribution. It was found that 73.9 percent of the respondents (most of whom young adults and women) noted progress in the teaching-work integration in recent years, 'with comings and goings,' because 'it is a process,' 'learning that takes time.' The topics that appeared with most emphasis were the distinct interests among the players, the involvement of the university, the student's participation at the health unit, communications, the structure of the basic unit, and knowledge of reality.
