Aim: The aim of this study is to present today's model of the Piracicaba Dental School extramurally internship - UNICAMP, which occurs in two different stages, one into Family Health Units and the other into the old Dental School building, describing their activities and the evaluation that the student makes himself of this internship. Materials and Methods: The graduation students work in a multidisciplinary team and in health promotion activities, however, each place of this internship presents its own characteristics. In the health unit the students experience the work manners participating in all activities and in the other internship stage they give assistance to the municipal school children, both complementary activities to fully develop their skills. Results: In 2009, 59,6% of the students evaluated the clinical internship period as very important and 36,8% considered the health unit period very important too. Conclusion: The amplification of the working hours allowed the student the possibility to participate in a variety of health settings, which the majority of them evaluated as important/very important. So the pedagogic proposal of this course points to the construction of a new model of human resources formation.
