The education process is a determinant factor for the quality of service of health professionals. Permanent Education, particulary, enables dynamic learning from the daily demands of the professional. Currently, distance education is one means by which practitioners can improve, surpassing temporal and geographical incompatibilities. In this sense, it was established in 2007 by the Ministry of Health the Brazil Telehealth Program, which seeks to promote permanent distance education for professionals involved in the family health strategy, being Rio de Janeiro as one of the cores of the pilot project. This research aimed to: a) Identify and characterize, in terms of socio-demographic, academic, and on the use of Internet technologies, the nurses inserted into Telehealth Project Brazil Rio de Janeiro Nucleus, Rio de Janeiro according to region, b) To identify, categorize and analyze the permanent education demands pointed by the participants, c) Describe and analyze the participation of nurses in specific activities. The Project has two basic activities: the teleconference, working synchronously in wich the professional has the opportunity of attending classes about subjects there ar in accordance with the interaction possibility and, the second formative opinion, asynchronously working, giving the worker the possibility to obtain the opinion of an expert on any doubt in his everyday life. The methodology was based on a quantitative approach with longitudinal design and observational, not experimental research design and descriptive character. Data were collected between the years 2009 and 2010 and analyzed according to three sources of information: Baseline forms, teleconferences and formative second opinions. The results indicate that the professional profile of Rio de Janeiro is composed of female workers, young, recently trained, specialists and with basic knowledge on information technologies and communication. It was also found that most of the questions are still related to clinical issues, followed by questions about implementation of activities on continuing education. The conclusion shows the feasibility and importance of this type of continuing education activity, in spite of some contradictions and difficulties for nurses in primary care, which are challenges to be overcome.
