This study was focused on exploring the professional skills in speech therapy for head and neck cancer intervention, from a Primary Health Care perspective, which are promoted in the formation of an academic program of the Universidad del Valle between January 2018 and April of 2019. This research was carried out from a qualitative perspective, exploratory and cross-sectional. It had two census samples: documentary and population, the first formed by the Professional Phonoaudiology Practice course programs between January 2018 to April 2019 and current national guidelines on public health; and the second by the story of 10 teachers linked to the university under study. As a result, it is observed that only one of the teachers interviewed, managed to make explicit in his speech, association relationships between the actions of the Primary Health Care strategy and a chronic non-communicable disease such as cancer. The research allows us to conclude that said academic program should continue to be strengthened regarding the awareness that many of the actions that are currently being carried out directly influence the promotion of health and the prevention of a chronic non-communicable disease such as Cancer.
