ABSTRACT Background: the teaching of the English language constitutes a tool to exercise educational influences in the students through the Health Situation Analysis in the medical sciences. Objective: to contribute to the strengthening of the education in values through the Health Situation Analysis in the English language. Methods: a pre-experimental study carried out to promote the discussion and the debate about different values based on the presentation of a Health Situation Analysis in the English language. Theoretical methods were used: the historical-logical, analysis-synthesis and hypothetical-deductive; and empiric ones: surveys to determine the knowledge about values and how to strengthen them when it is carried out an exercise like this; evaluations were carried out to measure the students´ performance. Results: a Health Situation Analysis was presented in the English language, in a scientific activity manner with the participation of the professors of Public Health, Comprehensive General Medicine and English; it was insisted on the values that could be strengthened through it. It could be verified that the students discussed and reflected on them and they carried out bibliographical searches in both languages, using the Infomed Portal. Conclusions: the exercise carried out was motivating and of high importance for the future doctors since they collaterally developed several medullar actions that strengthened its comprehensive development and they allowed the interdisciplinary work.
