La educación médica. Una perspectiva desde las corrientes educativas

Abstract

The main objective is to provide some elements for the analysis of the teaching practice in medical curriculum. Development three approaches to education are reviewed: the traditional, the technocratic and the critic. Five elements are identified out of each one and compared with the medical education; the traditional approach is dominant despite the university efforts to move towards the critic approach. This is due to several factors involved in the medical clinic practice.
