Dealing with the administration work of the public health system based in traditional methods, the implementation of strategies to ease the plans of actions in health is needed. The situational diagnosis (SD) and the SWOT analysis support the alignment of ideas and the implementation of effective actions, thus minimizing the challenges that pervade this field of action. This study aims to carry out a situational diagnosis of the epidemiological surveillance service of the Teresopolis (RJ) municipality. This is an experience report of students and health professionals belonging to the Program of Education for the Health Work (PET-Saúde) and inserted in the scenario of local epidemiological surveillance. For theoretical support, a search was carried out in the bases PubMed, Scholar Google, and SciELO. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats were observed from the SD carried out, both from factors related to the internal environment and from external factors, allowing recommendations for better performance and organizational advancement. Living in the territory made it possible to plan strategies that, in addition to being used in the epidemiological surveillance division, covered external health services, thus addressing labor weaknesses and guaranteeing resolute attitudes towards the municipality’s epidemiology service. The PET-Saúde was a great opportunity for thinking and acting in health. From the perspectives of the involved students and professionals, actions were planned both aiming at the inner factors, which can be executed in a direct manner by the team, and at the external factors which demand indirect measurements to be resolved, which turn into gains for the population.
