The study had as main goal to define the professional profile that serves the primary health sector in the city of Sorocaba, and analyze the way in which it is inserted, to identify if there are conditions for the care of rheumatic and low complexity diseases and the possible reasons that would lead to a high degree of referral to specialists. Methods: We performed a quantitative and qualitative study in which doctors from primary health care were invited to answer a questionnaire that addressed personal aspects of professional technicians plus four rheumatic diseases: osteoarthritis, gout, fibromyalgia and osteoporosis which served as the basis for evaluating the care of diseases of low complexity in primary health care. Results: It was observed that the professional is housed in an organizational system that hinders its performance; furthermore, it was noticed certain personal technical difficulties. These conditions combined turn out to be factors that determine a quality of care that falls short of expected. Conclusion: It is necessary that there be a review of how medical education is given in order to seek a more qualified and dedicated training to the basic needs of the health system and a restructuring of the entire health system in terms of organization and management so that there is a suitable condition for the development of a good medical practice and hence provide a fine service to the public
