The objective of this quali-quantitative research was to visualize patients' social representation, which profited of the interaction between public universities and hospitals. 105 patients in the waiting rooms at the Integrated Clinic at FOA _ UNESP in the first semester 2005 answered to the question: How did you know about the service at FOA? - in opened interviews, recorded or written. A collective speech of the subject represented the field that allouds a society to speak as one. Twenty three of all patients have been sent to FOA by Health Assistance Centers in Araçatuba (7) and region (16) and twenty one patients assisted in Araçatuba by emergency. We can observe that the interaction between the public universities and general hospitals is a reality.spaDeontological assistanceGeneral hospitalsOral healthPatientsUniversitiesArtigoS0034-75072007000400005Acesso aberto2-s2.0-422491044012-s2.0-42249104401.pdf9807879196081999
