ABSTRACT

Medical practice requires a new conception in order to routinely incorporate humanistic values, attitudes and moral behaviors in the curriculum. The state of the art in biomedicine could be a gold standard only if factors as ethics, respect, and interest of the patients are to be considered. Biosciences and humanistic values should be integrated in curriculum design, creating an adequated learner centered environment. Communication skills, and diagnostic and treatment skills should be learned accordingly with patients and community needs, being specially relevant in Family Medicine. This perspective has been integrated in the Biopsychosocial Model of Family Medicine. Traditional training programs have commonly reinforced such values as the primacy of objective data over subjective experience. The lack of explicit attention to this aspect of training often results in these values being neglected or subtly devalued.
