This paper is about interdisciplinary post-graduation education from the perspective of Social Sciences and Humanities in Health supervisors and post-graduate students trained in health. Difficulties regarding post-graduation in general and specifically for health care professionals will be discussed. Some tensions about the production of knowledge from different disciplinary perspectives will be considered. A dialogue is necessary between supervisor, to whom theoretical framework takes a prominent place, and student, whose practice is guided by intervention. Theoretical dialogue between supervisor and student is asymmetrical and implies moral and ethical tensions for both. Geertz's term "anthropological irony" (2000) is used to discuss the relationship between supervisor and student. Finally, a reflection is proposed on possible attitudes and expectations in this relationship. We need a debate to discuss the effective contributions of this relationship and what is intended as interdisciplinary research.Downloads
