This program, which aims to promote health and healthy lifestyles, covering such areas as nutrition, oral health, exercise, prevention of the consumption of licit and illicit substances, as well as stress management for young people in a school.

The medical school intends to make an assessment of capacity and physical development of children and youth, in terms of vision, hearing, oral health, posture and language, in which the results will be recorded on the Child and Youth Health, which includes a platform to record all student data.
