ABSTRACT

Introduction: The association between the basic and the clinical aspects broadens the vision in order to acquire mediating skills in the logical processes of thought that will lead from basic knowledge to clinical diagnosis. The educational work developed upon the design of the subjects must include elements of history of medicine with an interdisciplinary focus as a source of inspiration for the human improvement of students and teachers and as a method to achieve the humanistethical profile of the professional model that is the aspiration.
Objectives: To relate the basic sciences with the clinical aspect through the personalities that gave rise to medical eponyms, exposing their usefulness for curricular educational work.
Development: The educational potential of each subject determines the pedagogical activities which, in the class, shall link the basic knowledge with the clinical practice upon the history of its discovery, the personalities involved, its biography, and the consequences for the medical sciences and the humanity in general. The life and work of Camilo Golgi, Paul Langerhans, Wilhem His and Hans Adolf Krebs, among other examples, are sources of inspiration for the formation of values in medical students and a crossing point between the basic and the clinical in the medical practice.
Conclusions: The work of personalities that gave rise to eponyms used in basic sciences makes it possible to relate these to the clinical application of the knowledge discovered by them, also serving as models for educational work upon the curriculum, for their dedication to the profession and the extraordinary circumstances of their lives.
