This report describes the experience of an extension project developed by the medical course of the Federal University of Sergipe, Lagarto campus. The teaching-learning activities sought to lead students to critically analyze health policies and practices developed within the community and state health institutions, constituting a space for experimentation with innovative practices based on student-centered methodologies, as established by the National Curriculum Guidelines. Its implementation included actions involving the analysis of official documents (laws and ordinances) about changes to the new model to finance Primary Health Care, the creation of a virtual discussion spaces with health teams and the production of informative materials (physical and virtual), such as videos and booklets. Supported by the experience of teaching-service-community integration, its execution contributed to clarify the changes underway, as well as to develop technological and critical skills focused on the quality of care aimed at improving the living conditions and health status of the population. These factors are the main current scientific paradigms in the field of public health policies to overcome teaching models that are increasingly unable to meet the social health needs.
