The purpose of this study was to reflect on the deployment of an active teaching and learning methodology in practical settings in undergraduate Pharmacy studies. Problematization has been used as a teaching strategy aimed at training more critical, reflective professionals capable of working and learning together. A pharmacist with this profile is capable of working in the Single National Health System (SUS) integrated with the social context and contributing to improving people's quality of life, as advocated by the National Curriculum Guidelines. For this, the assessment tools provided by the students were analyzed qualitatively, and the main weaknesses and strengths of the process were highlighted. It was possible to analyze the following aspects: practical settings, student orientation, retraining, and assistance. We conclude that, despite the fact that major challenges still remain, including inadequate teacher training, this educational model is consistent with the proposed goal
