Abstract

This study integrates the experiences of undergraduate students in Health Psychology, on learning acquired through a professional practice based on a psychosocial intervention. It is a qualitative case study, through a semi-structured interview. 10 students of professional practice participated. Inductive analysis of the information collected in the interviews was performed. As a result, students perceive internships as: a personal transformation activity and an opportunity to transfer knowledge, values and professional skills. It was concluded that through these practices the university contributes to the integral development of the student and the community.
