Introduction: Several investigations support that the nursing professional must have cultural competence, but sometimes they do not give the necessary importance during training. Objective: To describe training for intercultural care from the perspective of nursing faculty and students at a Private University in Chiclayo-Perú. Method: Descriptive qualitative research. The sample was not probabilistic for convenience, 10 professors and 10 nursing students participated in the study. For the collection of data, the semi-structured interview via Zoom was applied. The data were processed through thematic content analysis. Results: Two categories arose: a) Importance of training for intercultural care, b) Suggestions for including interculturality in the training process, with four subcategories: (1) Inclusion of interculturality in the classroom by means of workshops, content, competitions and subscriptions, (2) Strengthen community pre-professional practices, (3) Student exchange program, (5) Training of teachers on intercultural care. Conclusions: According to teachers and students, intercultural training in nursing is evident in a tacit way and it is necessary to take care of cultural diversity and these people feel confident and empathetic. However, greater teaching training is needed and implemented in a transversal way in the studio plans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
