Methods. Descriptive study of qualitative approach in a public higher education institution of Divinópolis, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Results. Three categories of analysis were identified: "active methodologies in the training of a professional critic," "interdisciplinary debate as facilitator reflection of bioethics" and "feelings and attitudes caused by the interdisciplinary debate." Discussion. There was a lack of approach of bioethical contents in the health curriculum, and the adoption of active methodologies provides a better reflection in bioethics, but that requires changing paradigms of teachers and educational institutions.
