The importance of the professionalization of the universtary professor is argued trough the need of a training program as educator and pedagogue to become a master. Therefore, it is important to develop professional competencies understood as capabilities that include attitudes according to the values, knowledge, and skills. Furthermore, different functions are described: teaching, research and extension. To consolidate the features of the university teacher the concepts of profession, teaching profession, professional autonomy and professional competences are explored. Those are organized in a flexible and dynamic model as proposed. According to its interests and potentials these competences should be developed by a professor. In conclusion, it is invite to the University to organize training programs for teachers in Health Sciences. Health professionals which also are teachers have two professions: one in health sciences and another university teaching which lead to the dual role of teaching-service when they support training students based on patient care, family, and communities.
