It may be linked by formative mechanisms, aiming the qualification of academic knowledge and practical internship activities. Objective: It reflects the learning experience from the approximation with gender category and its implications to the care provided by nurses in Primary Care. Methods: It’s a descriptive study, critic-reflexive, of experience re- port type, systematized from the experience with gender category in health, and designed under two reflective categories: 1. Operatio- nalization of Supervised Curricular Internship; and 2. Conceptualizing gender: perspectives for nursing care. Results: There were a theoretical enrichment about gender category in overcoming the biases found during the formation process, demysti- fying normative patterns built around gender and sexuality, becoming necessary to conceptual comprehension in nursing care context, in nurse’s action in Primary Care, in the current social scenario of health- disease process from identity questions, recognizing subjects’ expres- sion through their subjectivity.
