In this study we investigate how undergraduate teaching in a setting of Primary Health Care practice may constitute a space for learning interprofessional, through the analysis of its meaning in the training of future health professionals. The research was developed in a public university in Southern Brazil, with qualitative data collected through a self-applied online instrument with students and graduates (n = 186) of 15 health professions. The results show that teaching practices shared with students, teachers, health professionals from different fields, as well as with users, promote moments of listening and sharing of experiences, perceptions and different kinds of knowledge. The tutorial education in small groups strengthened the interprofessional education experience. The learning related to the acknowledgement and appreciation of the roles of each profession in the team, as well as to the development of communication skills, stood out. The short duration of the experience was a challenged acknowledged by the participants to promote integration. The interactions among students of different professions in practical teaching activities in primary health care promoted learning shared in the undergraduate courses, which can support the skills of collaboration in teamwork and comprehensive health care.
