The data were obtained from reports (educational institutions and advisers of the Ministry of Health) using the FORMSUS platform. The data analysis consisted of a quantitative systematization and content analysis. It was emerged as themes: concepts and practices in interprofessional education: multi or inter? Interprofessional education and PROPET: unveiling potencies. The analysis indicated that PROPET induced new ways of interaction between the courses and their agents that were involved in real-life scenarios and identified important key points of health education, such as the articulation between education/health service and qualifications for teamwork.
