This qualitative study aimed to analyze the contribution of the Education Program by Work for Health (PET–Family’s Health) for educating future health professionals at a public university in northeastern Brazil. Secondary data were derived from the semiannual assessment tool that was answered by 67 physical education, nursing, physiotherapy, medicine, nutrition, and dentistry students. The results were organized under two categories: interprofessional work and teaching–service integration. The present study highlighted the importance of interprofessional and collaborative work; integration of learning, service, and the community; and reflection of practices promoted by PET–Family’s Health to bring about changes in the educational process. Strategies such as this are essential for the education and improvement of health professionals in the Brazilian Health System (SUS).
