The Psychology course was made known to students through the Myths and Truths about Psychology activity, mediated by Prof. Amanda Gama. The visit ended with the presentation of the Morfofuncional Laboratory, under the coordination of the medical course monitor students.

"I think this proposal by the Bahiana, because it opens the way for our students, so that they can actually see the university, so that they can recognize the spaces, move around where students from that faculty will learn and get to know a little more about each profession in a closer way ", punctuated the psychologist and professional guidance counselor of Colégio Senhora da Conceição, Lídia Costa Pithon. For the student Kaique dos Santos Penha, the Bahiana for one day enriches knowledge for those who are in the phase of choosing an undergraduate course. "I thought all the lectures were great. Even for those who don't want to study the health area, it's good to pay a visit here. All the courses caught my attention, especially Psychology and Medicine".
