The interprofessional education (IPE) has emerged as a strategy to train professionals with a profile to teamwork, essential for comprehensive health care. This study describes the practice of the EIP activities in the extension project "Attention to the families of wagon horses' owners in the city of Passo Fundo-RS." This project aims to promote health and income generation for the families of garbage collectors, as well as encourage the consolidation of the reorientation of healthcare courses at Passo Fundo University. The project is developed in the communities of Bom Jesus and Valinhos neihborhoods since 2011. Working in multidisciplinary team with inter disciplinary approaches during the academic training allows experiencing academic competencies and skills such as leadership, decision-making, communication and health care, within the principles of ethics/ bioethics, seeking the resolution of health problems at individual and collective level. The knowledge and experience expansion, experimentation of interdisciplinary and humanized work in immersion in the community, closer ties between the university and the community, as well as technical and scientific humanized training were cited by extension as contributions to vocational training. The activities developed by the extension project proved to be an opportune method of stimulating the interdisciplinary and multiprofessionalism, providing social and health care to the families involved and contemplating the formation of ethical, humanist, and critical professionals, aware of their role as citizens.
