Introduction. Daily practice shows the lack of knowledge that health workers have about child rights, in terms of learning about local and international regulations and frameworks, as well as the persistence of paternalistic attitudes towards children and adolescents that attend health care services. The Convention on the Rights of the Child founded a new paradigm to consider the child as a subject of rights. Objective. To report the experience of professional training for the mainstreaming of child rights in the Hospital J. P. Garrahan. Methodology. Courses for all areas of the institution were implemented. Teaching procedures and assessment criteria were defined through the formulation and implementation of projects, interdisciplinary work, professional accreditation andprogressive institutionalization. Results. Five training courses were held since 2009. 201 students were enrolled, 50.2% of which finished. The level of satisfaction with the proposal in terms of knowledge and expectations showed satisfactory results. The challenges and opportunities in the implementation are discussed. Conclusion. Incorporating the human rights approach implies an institution cultural change. The continuing education in the rights of children will contribute to achieving this goal.
