Teaching formation is an object of interest for educational policies and educational management at all levels. This paper aims to appraise the teaching formation of university health professors throughout the use of teaching cases. Therefore, we report here a decade of experience of an institutional program of teaching formation from a public institution in the south of Brazil. An experience in which the writing and use of cases of teaching have been used as a didactic instrument to promote discussion and reflection on the teaching practice in the health area. The described teaching formation has developed the discussion of the teaching plan at a micro-level (teaching strategies; assessment and use of technologies) and macro-level (educational policies and curricular guidelines); the integration of the teaching and the health services and the teaching-research dyad among others. Participants have been invited to discuss ready teaching cases (based on real or fictional stories) as well as to write narratives of remarkable teaching/learning experiences (positive and negative ones). Our results suggest the potential use of narratives for teacher professional development with novice and experienced professors as it promotes an opportunity for discussing the teaching and learning process in the health area and the continuous learning of teaching in the work context.
