Many studies relate the importance of addressing empathic and communication skills during undergraduate teaching, proposing ways to exercise empathy and pointing out possible paths for teaching with a view to developing empathic potential, considered essential to achieve better results in health care. The motivation for this study came from the author's personal, academic and professional experience, who over the years working in public health observed problems related to communication with the patient. The Professional Master's Degree in Health Education was a journey of a lot of learning that provided new discoveries, especially in the universe of research, with the richness of the interdisciplinary perspective, linking to this the great power of education and teaching in health, a fruitful space for construction of good care practices. Objective: the research aimed to analyze the contribution of communication education in the training of medical students at a public university in northeastern Brazil as a promotion in fostering comprehensive care. Method: a focus group was carried out with 06 medical students from the 11th period, data analysis was carried out according to the method proposed by Malheiros.
