O presente trabalho apresenta discussões acerca da vivência prática de visitas técnicas realizadas pela demanda externa de estudantes de colônia de férias, ensino fundamental, médio e superior ao complexo de laboratórios da saúde da Universidade Federal do Tocantins (UFT). Ao proporcionar visitas técnicas se estreita as relações entre a comunidade e a universidade ampliando as oportunidades para obtenção de conhecimentos com benefícios mútuos, que é o objetivo do trabalho. Foram confeccionados materiais para apresentação dos métodos de ingresso ao ensino superior, assim como apresentar os cursos ofertados na UFT para tentar despertar o interesse por esta instituição, além disto, a equipe do projeto apresenta os conteúdos nos laboratórios que as escolas visam aprofundamento prático. Dessa forma, o projeto teve uma ótima aceitação pública, tanto que, foram recebidas escolas de todo o estado do Tocantins, desde os municípios circunvizinhos aos periféricos, com uma demanda média de três visitas por mês. As experiências vivenciadas pelos extensionistas e colaboradores do projeto além de despertar o interesse pela docência favorece o vínculo com a comunidade externa que é de suma importância para o futuro profissional.

Epidemiological studies, both in general and specifically, are part of the health promotion process and prophylactic actions that can generate treatment plans for a population, however, the accomplishment of prophylactic work in relation to musculoskeletal (i.e., traumatological) problems must start from the specific and go to the general, from cities to a national plan, since each population has its own characteristics in the general picture of conditions. Hypothetically, the epidemiological profile in traumatology and orthopedics, due to the general behavior in the national territory, presents the lack of prevention; in this way, is necessary to verify. This work aims to determine the incidence of orthopedic and traumatological problems in the region of Palmas, state of Tocantins (TO), Brazil, in order to contribute to a possible prophylactic plan for the population of the region. The data of the present study agree with most other studies about the orthopedic profile in terms of gender, age and problems with vertebral column, in general. However, the finding that most of the conditions were associated with scoliosis was unexpected, as it differs from the findings of most studies. It was possible to establish a profile of patients seen at the clinic-school and indicate the management of training for health professionals related to the treatment of people over the age of 40 years. The importance of the action of physiotherapists in the processes of prevention and primary care was evident given the patients indicated in this and other articles who need help with traumatic diseases.
