O artigo discute potenciais contribuições da interdisciplinaridade para a construção de competências comunicacionais no ensino médico, sob as perspectivas da Teoria da Complexidade e da Pragmática da Comunicação Humana. Tal discussão sustenta-se na descrição da implementação de atividades de uma disciplina do curso de Medicina da NN, espaço em que dialogam docentes da área da Psicologia e da Semiologia Médica. Propõe-se que a interdisciplinaridade, por meio do reconhecimento do tensionamento entre diferentes áreas de conhecimento, pode ser usada como força motriz para a reflexão e para a problematização, no contexto da construção de habilidades e atitudes requeridas para a realização de uma entrevista médica.
