Abstract: The inclusion of literature in interdisciplinary health studies broadens the understanding of the illness process, contributing to a broader view of the human condition and the role of the health professional. One of the curricular guidelines for Health Teaching brings the teaching of humanities, including literature as a way of overcoming the biomedical model, justifying that literary reading strengthens compassion, with an eye on otherness. The relationship between literature and health is fundamental to establishing a meaningful dialogue between the areas, involving a crossing of meanings, narratives and experiences, which recognizes language as a valuable therapeutic tool. In view of the above, the Faculdade Pernambucana de Saúde has been offering, since 2023, a Literature module for its students, presented here as a case report.
