The aim of this study was to report the process of a website creation that disseminates information on SUS drugs. First, topics for the website were selected based on problems in understanding the Pharmaceutical Service presented by healthcare providers and patients. Then these problems were discussed with pharmaceutical specialists to determine the topics and content to be included on the website. The topics were divided into two mains themes: information on the Pharmaceutical Service in SUS, and guidelines to promote the rational use of medicines. The website development report may serve as an example for other residency programs, and may contribute to the development of other residency theses that disseminate relevant information to patients and healthcare providers, promoting the integration of service, teaching, research and community.
