• Abstract: This research is focused on the discussion of the contributions of David Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) to health education and the development of professionalism. Objective: The study sought to understand how research conducted with higher education health professionals has appropriated Kolb's ELT, with the objective of developing their professionalism. Method: This is an Integrative Review that was developed in six phases. Data searches were conducted in the electronic databases of PubMed, SciELO and LILACS, in a time frame from 1984 to 2023 using the combination of descriptors and keywords. The selection process of the retrieved articles was described based on the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, PRISMA. Results: the 8 selected articles were classified according to methodological quality, year, journal, teaching strategies and/or mode of application of ELT, and then critically analyzed through the Kolbiano prism. Conclusion: It was possible to study the appropriation of Kolb's ELT in the researches carried out, demonstrating that there are cases in which it is not fully applied, with deviations from the Experiential Learning Spiral. None of the studies analyzed took into account the students' learning style, which is a significant part of the theory.
