Practical activities allowed to apply, practice and check what was learned and to use it in education at work, based on a set of Tools that allowed the development of actions to promote health and enhance their performance in teaching and research activities. A domain of the content was obtained in the categories studied. Progress was observed in communicative skills related to oral expression, performance in acting mode, responsible behavior and ability to influence the behavior of other students.
Conclusions: The results obtained with the application of the program through participatory studio promote changes in students from the individual to their growth at the group level.
