As IES sao, sob este paradigma, conduzidas pelos marcos conceituais da promocao da saude (PS), e por valores interdisciplinares como inclusao, equidade, justica social e sustentabilidade. A Bioetica, em conjunto com as UPS e a PS, apresenta-se como uma ferramenta reflexiva, mutuamente compartilhada e interdisciplinar que objetiva a adequacao das acoes que compreendem a vida e a cidadania, em seu carater equitativo e inclusivo, no contexto da Educacao Superior. Neste texto a Bioetica busca refletir sobre a PS docente nas IES, contribuindo para a construcao de processos qualificados de acoes em saude docente. Bioethics and promotion of teacher health in higher education: an interface required The Health Promoting Universities (HPU) - World Health Organization (WHO) approach considers that Higher Education Institutions (HEI) play a preponderant role in preserving the health and well-being of the academic community. HEIs under this paradigm are driven by conceptual frameworks of health promotion (HP), and by interdisciplinary values such as inclusion, equity, social justice and sustainability. Bioethics, together with HPU and HP, presents itself as a reflexive, mutually shared and interdisciplinary tool that aims at the adequacy of actions that comprise life and citizenship, in its equitable and inclusive character, in the context of Higher Education. In this text Bioethics seeks to reflect on the teaching HP in HEI, contributing to the construction of qualified processes of actions in teacher’s health.
