This study aimed at getting acquainted with the opinions of physicians and nurses regarding the teaching of Ethics as a response to the needs of professional practice, indentifying ethical conflicts within these professional's practice and getting to know both unfavorable and favorable conditions to the maintenance of ethical affairs within the workplace. The survey was carried out in the city of Aracaju, State of Sergipe and the units of observation were health institutions of the same city. The study sample was simple-random and had nurses and physicians of these health institutions as its respondents. The results showed that the teaching of Ethics in medical and nursing schools is not consistent with the reality experienced by these professionals and the interconnections between theory and practice, as well as the restrictive approach to a particular term or subject and not as a fix element throughout the entire course, is inexistent. Therefore, the respondents which have been experiencing different kinds of ethical conflicts in their workplace routine such as: Inappropriate behaviors towards patients, negligence, inaccuracy, troubled multiprofessional affairs, have been enduring the task of assisting the patients under inappropriate working conditions. They have trouble in making proper decisions since their training process lacked support. Besides ethical conflicts, the workers also reported some unfavorable conditions for the maintenance of ethical relationships in the workplace, such as inappropriate workplace condition and remuneration, hierarchical conflicts, both inappropriate personal and professional practices, the lack of technical ability combined with the ignorance on the ethic code and their careers legislation, among other matters. Therefore, in the light of the demands experienced by physicians and nurses in their working routine, it is reiterated the need for boosting the teaching of Ethics through more dynamic methodologies, interconnected to professional practice situations, as well as becoming a theme for debate throughout the entire undergraduate course. Through this perspective, the training critical, reflexive, ethical and social responsible professionals is definitely a possibility to be believed.
