Data synthesis: Descriptive case study reporting the experience performed in the first half of 2017 at the State University of Southwestern Bahia, in Jequié, Bahia, Brazil. The workshop was held in cooperation with a course of the Academic Master’s Graduate Program in Nursing and Health (PPGES) of the same university, with a duration of approximately four hours. Master’s students with training in Nursing, Psychology and Dentistry mediated the workshop, which had as participants students of the Nursing and Dentistry Undergraduate Programs, and was conducted with use of group dynamics addressing the National Policy on Integrative and Complementary Practices, based on music therapy. Through personal narratives, the participants expressed the meanings of the experience and their learning process. Conclusion: Conducting workshops creates spaces for reflection so that future professionals understand the need for having Integrative and Complementary Practices included in their clinical practice and work processes. The workshop gave rise to multiprofessional experiences and enabled a rich variety of perspectives regarding the subject and the exchange of experiences among the workshop participants, which will be incorporated into the work routine as an effective, continuous process, and adjusted to the needs of the Brazilian Unified Health System.
