Objective: To systematize the contexts and issues that justify the adoption of interprofessionality in health education and work and identify the main theoretical references that supported the construction of the project. Method: Documentary research in which 120 projects approved in the PET-Saúde Interprofissionalidade public notice were analyzed. A coding structure based on the study objectives was previously developed by the research team and guided the data collection. Results: The most cited issue as a justification for strengthening interprofessionality in health education was curricula with little or no formalized IPE initiative. Professionals trained separately, prioritizing specific skills, the need to strengthen collaborative work and a health care model focused on curing pathologies were also cited reasons. The most used IPE concept to support the projects was that of the WHO. The history of policies inducing changes in training and work in health, references of interprofessionality and interdisciplinarity were the most used. Conclusion: Training in silos is still predominant, with few IPE experiences, difficulty in implementing practical activities and interprofessional internships, and the need for development for teaching and preceptorship in IPE, representing central aspects to be strengthened during the implementation of PET-Health Interprofessionality.
