The difficulty of addressing the health-illness process from a bio-psychosocial position has promoted other strategies that favor integrated training for future health professionals. This study had the objective of understanding the importance of Family Home Visiting as a teaching strategy for the integrated education of students between 2006 and 2011 in the undergraduate Medicine program at the University of Antioquia in the city of Medellin, Colombia. This is an historical qualitative study that adopts hermeneutic and phenomenological approaches, involving the systematization of cases and an ethical analysis of documents, a process carried out with 36 participants, including students and teachers. Information was collected through interviews, focus groups and participant observation. Results and conclusions: Family Home Visiting is a didactic strategy that develops an integrated viewpoint in students’ formation, improves the physician-patient relationship and generates social commitments and responsibility in the work of future pediatricians.
