in Mexico, the integration of anthropology students-researchers in health care spaces is very recent, so it is relevant to know the historical process and in the same way to problematize the interaction of these with health care providers, as well as with their users, in order to discuss the possibility of access to conduct research on ethnographic practices, functions, and consequences of the presence of the social researcher in this space, from the vision of the graduate student. Therefore, focus groups were conducted with ten students in the area of anthropology in health, in which they in-quired about the experience of their research in the aforementioned areas, reaching the conclusion that three axes are relevant: first, the preparation of anthropological work for and in the institution, followed by the performativity in the institution and, finally, both administrative and operational conflicts in ethnographic practice.Axes that were developed in this work, through which the tensions of the anthropological professional practice in health institutions were raised and described based on the fact that ethnography in these spaces confronts two dif-ferent disciplines and institutional logics. Finally, a reflection was made on the ethical implications of the development of ethnography in these spaces, under the protection of the human rights of the user-patient.

Palabras clave : health anthropology; hospital ethnography; performativity; ethics; researcher/student.
