This study aimed to make an evaluation related to the effectiveness of the work developed by the Psychopedagogical Support Center of the Faculty of Medina NAPP-FMB-UFBA, together with the stu-dantes evidencing elements that need to be improved in this intervention. Starting from the in-quietations and institutional needs related to the researcher's performance as a social assisten, in this space, the present study was structured. The mythological procedure developed was a qualitative case study, which included the triangulation of documentary analysis techniques, participant observation, interviews and questionnaires. Thus, it was observed that the students do not show an expressive dissatisfaction. The results showed that, as the work met or exceeding the expectations of most students, it was neces-sary to implement improvements for a resourcefulness that improves quality. It was possible to notice that, in general, the established objectives are achieved. This made it possible to affirm that the NAPP-FMB-UFBA develops an effective intervention, even in view of the structural limitations faced, a percep-tion that confirmed the assumption of this study. As internal indications fo-ram the needs of organizing shifts; adapt the facilities; incorporate profissio-nal, qualified to develop continuous pedagogical support, in the permanent team; improve the current de-signation of the Nucleus, adopting a name more consis-tent with the intervention and sensitize to-the categories of the university community, especially the professors, to contribute to the support of permanence and deepen the knowledge related to the expan-ded understanding of student assistance. The notes, in the broader institutional scope, suggested that the universida-de can structure a mentoring program and sensitize other academic units to reprodu-zirem the experience of the Nucleus studied here.
