ABOUT the

Program

Medical education through the ages has focused its study mainly on the biological aspect of man, dedicating almost all the contents to study from the most particular such as atoms and molecules to the most general such as the human body and its diseases, through the study of cells, tissues, organs, among others, forgetting that this biological being as a person has relationships with other subjects such as his partner, his family, the community and his culture, for this reason to achieve integrality in the management of the individual as a person it is necessary to resize the curriculum strengthening all dimensions in the same way.

Three dimensions are considered in our curriculum: Biological, Psychological and Social.  When reviewing or introducing content or practices, it will be taken into account that there must be a balance, thus achieving greater integrality in the approach to health.
