In recent years the debates around the social determinants of health and the building of new strategies to address basic problems brought new demands for training in health highlighting the importance of building skills for acting, besides, techniques. Competencies for Health Promotion (PS) has been built and validated internationally, especially the European Project CompHP. In Brazil, the National Curriculum Guidelines for the course in Physiotherapy (DCN / FISIO) establish a set of skills in order to guide training with generalist profile, critical and reflective dialogue with the areas of competence established for PS. The overall objective of this study is to analyze the profile of training and general skills training Physiotherapist with reference to the National Curriculum Guidelines and health promotion skills, as guiding the practices of health professionals. It is a qualitative study, exploratory and descriptive carried out in two Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the city of Goiânia / GO.

The results that the general powers provided for in the DCN, are articulated with the health promotion in view of CompHP, however in the context of courses studied it was found difficulties in the development of general skills recommended by DCN and Health Promotion, such as: lack of coordination of the training process with the primary care network of SUS; the curriculum with rehabilitative approach, whose tendency is to prepare future professionals with a specialist profile. focused on the activities at the tertiary level of health care. It can be concluded, respecting the limits of this study, the model of education of physiotherapists in the case of the two educational institutions, is still focused on the disease predominantly in the biomedical model, the training offered seems to be disconnected to the context Current health and the focus on developing skills for a generalist, critical, humanist and reflective.
