The integration among undergraduate health sciences courses allows a joint learning of the themes in common and ofthose that can complement each other, enhancing team work. This study aimed to identify different forms of integration applied by nursing and medicine undergraduate courses professors, comparing the integration strategies used with the literature published in the area. The research was cross-sectional, descriptive and exploratory, with a quantitative approach. The participants were medicine and nursing undergraduate courses coordinators, acting in higher education institutions (HEI) in the State of Paraná. The data obtained revealed that there are isolated and extracurricular initiatives in the HEI, regarding the promotion of common topics between the courses. The results obtained showed that the integration between the studied courses continues to be challenging and necessary, since it is this way that a real and effective interprofessional education becomes possible to reinforce attitudes towards teamwork, especially between nurses and physicians.
