Objective:

To analyse the strengths and weaknesses identified by nursing professionals on the incorporation of intercultural health in nursing training.

Methods:

Qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. Intrinsic case study design. A total of 28 nursing professionals participated of the Maule region, Chile, who met the inclusion criteria.

Results:

The strengths identified were consistent with the country's reality, professional integrity, and intercultural competence in health, this would allow providing healthcare to anyone who needs it. The main weakness lies in the fact that training in intercultural care is implicit in the training itinerary.

Conclusions:

The Nursing curriculum has elements that would allow to manage care in a comprehensive and holistic way; however, intercultural themes are implicit or absent in the training. This evidences the need to make content more flexible and transversal, where academics promote dynamic teaching method-ologies and clinical professionals foster intercultural encounters in a reflective manner.
