Objective:
to describe the experience of clinical teaching on dengue and the practice of epidemiological surveillance using problematization methodology.
Method:

Results:
The activity allowed to retrieve previous knowledge about the disease, respond to exercises that addressed different clinical situations and epidemiological surveillance, including in situ evaluation of possible mosquito outbreaks, and discuss the need to expand prevention and health of the individual and the community, the impact of the media in the dissemination of cases and the coping difficulties experienced in the different levels of attention.
