Abstract
The debate presents a discussion on interprofessionality: its trajectory and the need of this concept for the management of work and education in the area of health, especially when patient safety, education oriented to health systems, and coordination of the services network guided by integral care, efficacy, users’ satisfaction and workers’ comfort are present. It presents the distinction among “multi”, “inter” and “between” in relation to the terms profession and discipline. A focal review of the literature was carried out, in a search for the introduction of the term and its variation in education, practice, praxis and audit of educations and professional actions. It problematizes connections (challenges) and boundaries (limits), pointing to learning, thought and creation. The text is concluded by bringing the idea that form and form-giving supports the notion of fixation of forms (normative) or movement of forces (permanent health education).
