ROSEVICS, Leticia et al. ProCura - The art of living: a project for the humanization of health care. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2014, vol.38, n.4, pp.486-492. ISSN 1981-5271.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S0100-55022014000400010.

Changes in medicine have promoted biomedical knowledge to a position of sovereignty. Coupled with the decline of the physician-patient relationship, this has brought about the the humanization movement. At the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), a community outreach project entitled "ProCura - the art of living" has been created to implement humanization among students and in their professional relationships. Its objectives are based on three pillars: student-patient relationship, student-student relationship and theoretical-reflexive training, subdivided into groups named Cineclube, Clown and Contação de Histórias. Between 2010 and 2012, 79 students participated in the project, attending to 905 to patients, 505 companions and 107 employees. Despite its limited scope as regards reaching all Department of Health Sciences students, the Project aims to promote discussion between groups and disseminate their ideals and activities throughout academic circles.

Keywords : Humanization of Care; Medical Education; Physician-Patient Relations.
