[Perspectives of the culture and the extent of teaching in the nursing school at the Federal University of Bahia]. / As perspectivas da cultura e extensão no curso de enfermagem da universidade federal da Bahia.

The present article emphasizes the importance of the University to maintain the indisociability among its finality activities whereas, at the moment, this indisociability shows up in a non compensated form. It comprehends a brief retrospective analysis of the extension activities, reporting the actual projects and the extension perspective at the College of Nursing, Federal University of Bahia, directing the attention to the fact that extension ought to be developed through a process of articulation with teaching and research, as these activities are complementary and different, but never unequal hierarchically.
