ABSTRACT
Objectives:
to reflect on the training of teachers in the field of health from the perspective of interprofessional education.
Methods:
an essay based on the dialogue between the scientific literature, the health education inducing policies, and studies in the fields of research and teaching activities in pedagogical projects based on interprofessional education.
Results:
teaching in health is revealed as a social practice that is built on multiple collaborative movements and training moments. In this sense, the presence of echoes and resonances of the inducing policies necessary for the reorientation of health education in the proposals for teacher development is recognized.
Final Considerations:
articulating teacher development and interprofessional education demands a dynamic process of expanding and incorporating interprofessional and collaborative practices as a field of study/research and intervention, with a view to strengthening the continuing education of teachers.
