We describe conversational processes that take place inthe group, which allow individuals to develop critical stances on meanings of health, illness and care, that influencetheir practices and sustain their personal positions. We argue that the Reflexive Group Technique favors the linkbetween theoretical issues and experiences that take place in health assistance, thus contributing to professionaleducation in the context of primary healthcare. %K social constructionism %K medical education %K health %K primary healthcare %U http://www.fafich.ufmg.br/gerais/index.php/gerais/article/view/12/9
