Revitalizing Humanization in Medical Education

In this study a retrospective of the valorization of humanization in a university in southern Brazil was carried out. The relevance of the philosophical anthropological social ethical and humanistic bases was discussed which are involved in the formation of the academic of a medicine course. The commitment of this professional with his patient was approached in the art of healing from a true concrete worthy responsible and human formation. It was used as a methodological resource two approaches of qualitative nature: semi-participant descriptive observations of the experiences of medical students in practical activities in collective spaces and semi-structured interviews carried out with the medical students with questions directed to formation and medical performance. In sequence a reflection of the observations and narratives of the undergraduate students of this course was carried out. In the discussions of the results weaknesses were perceived in these inter-relationships with tenuous approximations to the attitudes that permeate the humanization: the bond the welcoming and the integrality. As contributions we sought to revitalize the understanding and action of the humanities for an education based on affectivity.
