Abstract

This article addresses the new approach to training and healthcare work referred to as Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice (IECP). It focuses on some of the inconsistencies and structural incompatibilities of the model with the broader context of neoliberal rationality, with an emphasis on Latin-American countries. We suggest that IECP can contest such rationality and, in fact, develop a critical professional ethic. With that we intend to contribute to the growing literature on critical perspectives about training and working in health.
