• Abstract: The PET-Saúde program is a strategy of the Ministry of Health in partnership with the Ministry of Education. Its premise is education through work, aiming, among other things, to strengthen the integration of teaching, service, and community through activities involving teaching, research, university extension, and social participation. Its primary purpose is to sensitize future health professionals to act in a more humanized and inclusive way within the Unified Health System (SUS), prioritizing the welcoming of SUS workers and the development of an interprofessional work culture in Brazil. This qualitative study aims to analyze and share the evaluation of actions developed with SUS workers in a Basic Health Unit (UBS) located in the municipality of Várzea Grande, Mato Grosso. Sharing successful experiences in practices that integrate teaching, service, and community can be a powerful way to transform health services and consolidate a SUS that collectively reconstructs itself based on lived experiences in the work environment. The actions developed by GT-3 of the PET Health Equity program impacted the local work process through dialogued approaches (spaces for speaking and listening), reflection, and encouragement of self-criticism and critical thinking, relating scientific knowledge to the common sense of the workers and their work experiences, thus sparking proactive reflections that strengthened the participation of all as agents of change in interpersonal relationships for a healthier work environment and regarding their role as mediators for equitable work processes with a minimum incidence of psychosocial illnesses.
