MENEZES JUNIOR, Antonio da Silva  and  BRZEZINSKI, Iria. The Theory of Communicative Action and Medical Education: critical analysis of curriculum skills and physician-patient relationship. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2018, n.47, pp.441-456.  Epub June 10, 2019. ISSN 1983-9278.  https://doi.org/10.5585/eccos.n47.8757.

This is a qualitative research, based on the Theory of Communicative Action of Habermas. The categories analysed are: language (collective construction of identity), communicative action (communicative reason), work, interaction and power (instrumental action), the system world and the world of life. The training policies of these professionals (system world), derived from a disaggregated model of the social and cultural context (objective world) and focused on the labor market, are distanced from the Habermasian subjective world. They are also distanced from the omnilateral formation necessary for social transformation and insertion in the context of a late modernity. The policies instituted reproduce the neoliberal model, when they do not add the possibility of inclusion of the other and do not establish the possibility of dialogue as a process of (re) construction of human relations, especially the doctor-patient relationship and multiprofessional teamwork.

Keywords : Medical Training; Qualitative Research; Curricular Policies; Physician-Patient Relationship; Theory of Communicative Action.
