Considering the legislation and regimental attributions at the state level, the School of Public Health of Bahia (ESPBA), aims at developing qualification, training and permanent education actions for health workers, in line with SUS principles and guidelines and the State Policy for Labor Management and Health Education. With the adverse scenario during the pandemic, ESPBA had to work harder to meet the needs of contingent actions imposed by the Coronavirus, in addition to the actions already planned. The objective of this article is to discuss changes in the ESPBA work process and actions in the context of the pandemic. The information was collected from the work records of each technical area (secondary data from the registration forms, report of the courses and list of certificates), which are part of the data systematization – using Excel – for the quarterly returns in the reports. ESPBA conducted a significant number of educational actions based on the reorganization and restructuring of the work process in the adaptation of the face-to-face actions to distance and remote learning modalities, enabling the decentralization of these activities to workers from other municipalities, intra and interinstitutional articulation in specific educational actions to fight the Coronavirus. Despite the context, the pandemic was a strategic moment for the institution, since it provided an opportunity to organize and identify weaknesses in the equipment and structures for incorporating information technology. Even with the challenges and limitations, ESPBA fulfilled its role as organizer of training in SUS.
