Introduction: Teaching of communication in health programs in some Colombian universities requires a current diagnosis. A meeting (in the frame of the 'VII Encuentro de Educación Superior en Salud: la comunicación, un reto en la formación de los profesionales') of seven deans of health programs from Colombian universities was carried with the objective to know the communication approach in undergraduate students from these institutions. This meeting was held in Medellín in September 2013. Subjects and methods: The focal group with seven attendees responded these questions: 'How is structured in the respective health programs the communication teaching' and 'What proposals are there in your institutions to improve it?'. Answers were digital recorded and then a transcription was performed. Results: The deans admitted the importance of communication in the teaching/learning process in their health programs. Likewise they all expressed their programs include a variety of related communication courses. Even though, they have the perception of least real impact in the behavior of their graduates. It was underlined the importance of interdisciplinary and contributions of social areas, as well as extracurricular experiences. The scarce of qualified training on the communication by teachers. Conclusions: Communication training in health program students should be transversal during the total enrollment period of students. Even more, it should be more explicit during clinic semesters, including integrated reflexive practices, along with patients.
