The health academy program (PAS – Programa Academia da Saúde) is one of the health promotion actions of Brazil’s public health system (SUS – Sistema Único de Saúde) that works with the implementation of centers for multiprofessional and intersectoral action. The objective of this work is to describe the experience of a physical education professional (PEP) in the Multiprofessional Internship in Family Health Program, reporting the proposed intervention in the professional internship for the PAS of a municipality in Bahia. This is a qualitative, retrospective, and descriptive experience report. Initially, the situational health diagnosis was carried out with the quick estimate, to collect data and identify the main problems of the territory covered and the adequacy of the action plan aimed at the PAS. Subsequently, an intervention proposal was prepared and applied during the professional internship, adapting it to the scenario found in the municipality, as well as to the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The discussions and studies developed during the training course and the coexistence and exchange of learning with colleagues from other professions allowed the PEP to propose an intervention in the PAS, with a qualified look at public management and perception of the power of territorial work and articulation network to guarantee the integrality of care, based on the empowerment of the population. Thus, the lived experience provided the understanding that physical education has a lot to contribute to the areas of health and care production, notably those that incorporate the SUS and the different networks inserted in it, in particular, the Family Health Strategy.
