La competencia en bioética: eje fundamental en la formación de residentes de Medicina Familiar y Comunitaria

Bioethics training makes it easier for decisions in daily medical practice to be more informed and more respectful of the different options and values of the patients. Although the specialty of Family and Community Medicine sees bioethics training as an essential competency within the formative curriculum, it needs to be considered how to acquire this competence throughout the training of the resident physician. In this training, the tutor is a key element for the acquisition of an adequate ethical competence of resident doctors during their training period. This ethical basis is necessary for the recovery of the validity of the medical act, strengthening the clinical relationship in the form of an inter-personal encounter and respect for the rights of patients.
