Abstract

SANTOS, Marcos Antonio Almeida. A formação do professor de medicina como “intelectual”: uma análise crítica. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2011, vol.35, n.04, pp.544-549. ISSN 1981-5271.

The national curriculum guidelines of 2001 require medicine undergraduates to receive consistent training in humanities. In order to meet this requirement, teaching staff are faced with a new task, in addition to the production of scientific knowledge, professional qualification and ethical training. In light of this premise, therefore, the Medicine professor would be required to acquire a surprising attribute; that of being an “intellectual”. This article presents a critical analysis of the feasibility of this “enlightenment mission” in relation to 21st century Brazilian medical education, drawing on historical assumptions for teacher training both in Brazil and abroad.

Keywords : Medical Education; Faculty; Humanities.
