It's a qualitative research that had as the object of study the formation of healthcare professionals for SUS, in the Multiprofessional Residence in Family Health (MRFH) modality. The aims were to: identify the competence conception that guides the pedagogical practice of the course's preceptors; identify the professional competences referred by staff workers of Family Health Strategy (FHS) as necessary in the routine of their professional practice and build a competence profile to guide the professional formation in the residence modality. As the analytical and conceptual category, it was used the competence, as it was defined by Perrenoud, grounded in the conception of working in health by Mendes-Gonçalves and team work by Peduzzi. The study was developed at a course of MRFH of a teaching institution in the city of Sao Paulo, which has partnership with a philanthropic institution responsible for management of Health Basic Units of FHS. The population was made up of the course preceptors and healthcare professionals who develop their professional activities in Family Health Strategy. The sample was made of the totality of preceptors (15 participants) and by the professionals who were recommended by them as competent in the practice routine at the FHS (8 participants). It was used a semi-structured interview as instrument for data collection and the technique of analysis discourses proposed by Fiorin and adapted by Car and Bertolozzi for empirical data analysis. The discourses were decomposed in theme sentences and those, in knowledge, skills and attitudes, according to the four pillars of education professed by Delors. After that, following the theoretical referential, it was made the rearrangement of those knowledge, skills and attitudes in competences, classified in domain areas proposed by Witt: professional values, communication, team work, management, guided to community, health promotion, problem solving, attention to health, educational, and in basic science of public and collective health. The build up of this competence profile revealed, among other aspects, the need of thinking the formation in MRFH from a broad perspective of the healthdisease process of the individuals, as it reflected the competences and actions that must be developed by all the professionals in the context of the FHS.
