Resumo Buscou-se conhecer a percepção da experiência do trabalho docente em cursos de saúde de uma universidade federal da região Norte do Brasil. Utilizando-se abordagem qualitativa, foram entrevistados seis docentes de cursos de saúde dessa universidade, cujos dados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Predominaram mulheres na função docente, e a valorização dessa função como vínculo estável de trabalho, fonte de rendimentos e função social. No trabalho docente, a maioria se concentra no desenvolvimento de habilidades técnico-científicas dos alunos, expressando a necessidade da qualificação contínua e apoio institucional insuficiente. As relações pessoais desses docentes com alunos e outros professores e técnico-administrativos são reconhecidamente mediadoras da qualidade do processo de ensino-aprendizagem e trabalho. Quanto à saúde, a maior parte se sente vulnerável e desgastada, principalmente em aspectos psicoemocionais, o que influencia as suas relações sociais dentro e fora do ambiente de trabalho. Embora o exercício profissional tenha sido identificado como fonte de estabilidade, realização pessoal e financeira, destacam-se a precariedade e a sobrecarga de trabalho, que tendem a induzir sofrimento e adoecimento. Esta reflexão entre docentes, movimentos sindicais e instituições de ensino pode subsidiar ajustes institucionais, legais, curriculares e sociais para melhorar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem e a qualidade de vida dos docentes. Palavras-chave docente; saúde do trabalhador; recursos humanos em saúde.Abstract An attempt was made to get to know the views professors have on the experience of teaching in health courses at a federal university located in northern Brazil. Using a qualitative approach, six professors working at the university's health courses were interviewed, and their data were subjected to content analysis. Most professors were female, and the role was valued as it represents a stable employment status, a source of income, and a social function. In the teaching activity, most focus on developing the students' technical and scientific skills, expressing the need for ongoing training and insufficient institutional support. Personal relationships among these professors and students and with other professors and technical administrators are known to mediate the quality of the teaching/learning and work processes. Insofar as health is concerned, most feel vulnerable and worn, particularly in psycho-emotional aspects, a fact that influences their social relations within and outside of the workplace. Although the professional practice has been identified as a source of stability and of personal and financial realization, the precariousness and work overload stand out and tend to induce suffering and illness. This reflection among professors, labor union movements, and educational institutions may support institutional, legal, curriculum and social adjustments in order to improve the process of teaching and learning and the professors' quality of life.
