This study aims to describe the model of a program that integrates teaching, outreach and research called Program for Control of Intestinal Parasitoses and Nutrition (PROCOPIN). It is developed at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the National University of La Plata, Argentina. It reflects on the joint effort of public health professionals, school managers and the university to control intestinal parasitic infections and to improve the nutritional conditions of children in social vulnerability. It has a significant formative value for students of the faculty since it integrates contexts and curricular contents, articulates institutional logics, encourages team work and critical view on socio-sanitary problems.
