Thus, it becomes necessary to know how the professionals of the Expanded Center for Family Health and Primary Care (NASF-AB) understand the processes of permanent education, since this concept encompasses terms that generate doubts and different conceptions, giving rise to reflections on the Policy National Permanent Education in Health.
