This paper presents an overview of the introduction of the methodology of social sciences, as anthropology and ethnographic research, to the training of nursing resources at the National School of Nursing and Obstetrics (Acronym in Spanish: ENEO). A situation like that, has been fueled by the emergence of new demands on the health professions by the society, who have required the downsizing of the field of business and system knowledge, skills and professional values, as a condition of successful performance under new conditions in the globalized world, and the new care needs of the population culturally diverse, a question that in our country is daily bread.

Keywords : Ethnographic research; alternative health practices; social sciences and health; social representations.
