Abstract

GOMES, Andréia Patrícia  and  REGO, Sergio. Pierre Bourdieu and medical education. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2013, vol.37, n.02, pp.260-265. ISSN 1981-5271.

The contemporary discussion about the transformation of the training of health professionals has focused primarily on the change in method. This article discusses this issue in the light of Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical contributions - habitus, field, symbolic capital, symbolic violence and reproduction. The conclusion is drawn that pedagogical change alone is not enough to change the profile of medical graduates.

Keywords : Medical Education; Staff Teaching; Teaching.
