The article aimed to reveal the production of knowledge on permanent health education based on a survey of Brazilian theses and dissertations produced since the enactment of the first ordinance on the National Policy for Permanent Education, in 2004 until the year 2013. Information on authorship, content, and findings were surveyed and evaluated from the bibliometric perspective. It was found that there is a predominance of authorship by women with training in nursing and social services and with institutional affiliation in Southern and Southeastern Brazil. It was noted that there is a concentration of descriptive and exploratory studies, qualitative approaches and semi-structured interviews as a data collection technique. When analyzing the bibliographic references, there were three categories: Ministry of Health publications, references from various authors, and references related to the method. The research sought to reinforce the need for the inclusion of ‘permanent education’ as a descriptor and revealed a concentration of studies in the fields of health policy, primary health care, and education.
