Objectives Develop health activities and preventive guidelines focus on the epidemiological profile of patients seen, collaborating to assist in basic healthcare, in the actions of promotion and prevention, at people without healthcare coverage.

Methods Actions: admission and reception of patient; performance of pre-nursing consultation; medical examination with clinical diagnosis, preventive orientation, test ordering, notions of revenue, issuing the certificates and specialty referrals; schedule and control the return of regular health events; listing of shares of health education; summary record of service and application of a questionnaire on topics of interest.

Results Contributes to the teaching program of medical school to train general practitioners, with good technical-scientific training, better able to understand the epidemiological profile of a community, ready to intervene effectively in a health reality, so that favours the articulation and strengthening of existing spaces in the associations participating in the project, and joint support from other public representations and non-governmental organisations.
