This master's degree dissertation is linked to the research line Curriculum, Teacher Education
and Teaching Knowledge – Master degree in Education at the Federal University of Tocantins.
Its object of research is the development of the Pathology teacher and its general objective is to
understand the professional profile of Pathology teachers in the Medical courses of Federal
Public Universities in northern Brazil, through the paths and correlations between training and
teaching. To achieve this purpose, specific objectives were outlined, namely: to characterize
teaching in the historical context of higher education in Brazil; describe the role of the curricular
component of Pathology in undergraduate Medical courses in Brazil, correlating it, historically,
with teaching; to identify the professional profile of Pathology teachers in medical courses at
Federal Public Universities in northern Brazil; correlate their medical training profiles with the
development of their teaching careers. The research focuses on teaching, especially in the
training of teachers working in higher education in the health area, which instigated the
understanding of the processes of implementation and management of higher education and the
constitution of a teacher identity in these spaces. The approach used is qualitative and has an
exploratory character. Bibliographic and documentary sources were used, whose data were
obtained through searches in virtual repositories. The analysis of the data revealed a
contradictory context in the performance of the professor/pathologist as the training path of
most of the researched teachers is not anchored in a theoretical construct that contemplates the
teaching education and that allows them to develop conceptions of teaching and education in a
critical and dialogical manner.
