This paper analyzes an innovative curricular experience named ‘Integrated Health Practices I’ proposed by the Coordination of Health at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The study was focused on both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary teaching-learning processes at a Family Care Unit located at the ‘Glória-Cruzeiro-Cristal’ District in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The content analysis method was used to evaluate the teaching plan and both individual and collective narratives (daily experiences, portfolios and reports) from students and tutors along 2012-2014. This approach put in contact students and tutors with professionals of the Public Health System and instigated curricular changes, promoting the comprehension of the current health system and the interdisciplinarity practice of health care.
