In accordance with guidelines from the World Health Organization and following national guidelines for health courses in Brazil, the Faculdade Pernambucana de Saúde (located in the Northeast of Brazil) created in 2022 the Center for Interprofessional Health Care and Learning ( CAAIS) with the aim of developing interprofessional practical activities centered on the person, and involving teachers and students from eight health courses, i.e. physical education, nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy, medicine, nutrition, dentistry, and psychology. This is an experience report with the opinion of undergraduate students from the Tijolos community about the activities carried out centered on the person through a word cloud. The community of Tijolos is located around the FPS and does not have a basic health unit. At CAAIS, care is offered to children, adolescents, adults and the elderly with the main aim of restoring, maintaining and promoting health. An opinion survey was carried out during a week of service. Ninety-five students participated in practical activity at CAAIS and in the opinion survey, with an average age of 22.5 (SD =/- 3.6) years, of which 55 (57.9%) were female and 40 (42.1%) were male. In relation to the undergraduate course, 61 (64.2%) were from the medicine course, 15 (15.8%) from the nutrition course, 8 (8.4%) from the nursing and dentistry course respectively, and 3 (3.2%) from the  physiotherapy course. In relation to having had previous practical activity centered on the person, 39 (41.1%) reported never had any. The most used and highlighted words in the word cloud were: welcoming, humanization, integrality, interprofessionality/interprofessionalism, health, care and challenges. The experience suggests that students understood the person/patient-centered care strategy and reinforced its importance.
