Results: it was verified that the main inadequacies are related with the management and execution of the interdisciplinary methodological work and with the poor development of abilities for the medical information management in the English language, that’s why methodological actions were designed to achieve a bigger objectivity in the interdisciplinary implementation of this strategy that contributes with the current model of health professionals.
Conclusions: the actions were valued as pertinent by the specialists' criteria, because they contributed to transform the work with the methodological activity progressively to develop an interdisciplinary and professional idiomatic competence as guarantee of a competent performance in English-speaking contexts.
