SUMMARY:

Introduction: The public health is constituted as a field of knowledge that aims to understand health and explain its social determinants, and the scope of practices aimed primarily at promoting it. Due to its characterization, public health is a field that has the potential to contribute to the reorientation of health practices of different health professions, such as speech-language-hering sciences. In Brazil, the speech-language-hearing therapists practice focused on school health, between the 1920s and 1940s, with practices based on health pedagogization and medicalization of education. Between 1950 and 1970, it directed it’s work to private offices and rehabilitation clinics. In the 1990s, with the recently created Unified Health System (SUS), public gaps were identified in the performance of the speech-language-hearing therapist, beginning studies to rethink their training in the health context. Purpose: To analyze public health training in speech-language-hearing undergraduate programs at public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the Northeast. Methodology: For the production of the data, interviews were conducted with key informants, students and professors from seven public HEIs in the Northeast. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, categorized and analyzed through Content Thematic Analysis. In addition, a documentary analysis of the lattes curricula of the speech-language-hearing teachers responsible for the public health curricular components in the Brazilian public HEIs was identified using the “snowball” technique. This analysis allowed to characterize of the training, performance and publication of these teachers. The data produced were organized in IBM SPSS software version 20, generating descriptive statistics, and correspondence analysis was performed. Results: It was identified in the analysis of the students' interviews that they have training experiences in public health that favor learning in SUS, but that have weaknesses in interprofessionality and in the integration of content. In the interviews with teachers, it was observed that speech-language-hearing undergraduate programs have a heterogeneous approach to public health and a predominance of traditional methodology in curriculum, which favors a fragmentation of knowledge. In the analysis of the teacher education, performance and production characterization, it was possible to visualize the existence of teachers who did not have postgraduate training in public  health and who publish articles in the field of speech-language-hearing clinic. In addition, it is also possible to notice the existence of differences in the characterization of training and performance of teachers when analyzing this reality in the regions of the country, with the Northeast region having the most teachers with training, performance and publication in the area of public health. Final considerations: From the perspective of subjects involved with training, this work shows, in the context of the Northeast, the potentials and limits that speech-language-hearing undergraduate programs in public HEIs have for training in public health and SUS. Furthermore, the work expands the analysis to the national scope, through the identification of the characterization of performance, training and publication of teachers, aiming to stimulate reflection on how this profile can, in some way, influence the training in public health.
