This article aimed to understand the ethical-esthetic-political dimension (DEEP) of education and work in health, as constructed and present in the guiding documents of the Multidisciplinary Residency Programs in Family Health, with an emphasis on rural populations in Brazil. Using a qualitative methodological approach, a documentary analysis was conducted on the political-pedagogical projects (PPPs) of these programs. Through thematic content analysis, three categories were identified as the foundation of DEEP, understood as a transversal synthesis category: the concept of rural health, the concept of education and work in rural health, and the instrumentality of rural health. The transversal category indicated the values and principles that constitute the PPPs of these programs. Grounded in a Latin American Bioethics perspective, we understand these categorized elements and their relationship with the field of education and work in rural health, within the public health policy of the Unified Health System (SUS) and its ethical-political principles.
