Objective: To understand the discourses of medical and nursing students and teachers regarding interprofessional education (IPE) in perinatal maternal health. Materials and method: Qualitative study involving textual, contextual, and sociological discourse analysis from a socio-hermeneutic perspective. Focus groups were conducted with medical and nursing students and faculty in the field of maternal-perinatal health. Two emerging categories were identified: institutional factors and academic discourse, and the requirements for IPE. Results: Traditional institutionality, grounded in a single-professional academic discourse, creates barriers and resistance to the demands of an increasingly interdependent healthcare environment. Effective implementation of IPE requires skills such as empathy, effective communication, and teamwork, alongside the development of spaces for dialogue and collaboration. Overcoming hierarchies and power dynamics, as well as reducing competition, is essential for its successful integration. Conclusions: The discourse of medical and nursing students and faculty is shaped by the experience of institutional barriers and entrenched power dynamics that are reproduced in training environments. However, within these discussions, there is a clear desire to foster interprofessional dialogues to ensure effective collaborationamong health professionals in maternal-perinatal care. ; Objetivo: comprender los discursos de estudiantes y docentes de medicina y enfermería frente a la educación interprofesional (EIP) en la salud materno perinatal.
