Keywords: Bioethics, Humanization, Interdisciplinarity, Medical Education, Theology.
This essay presents the discussion about humanization in the education of the physicians. This humanization has been necessary because the human being has been included in the contemporary notion of science, which reduced reality to its mechanical aspects. Bioethics in its origins was meaningfully influenced by theology, which had the function of connecting science and healthcare. In search for the rescue of interdisciplinarity in medical schools, the goal is to overcome the dichotomized and segmented model of modern sciences. Theology could be a bridge between the humanization in medical education and the care of the patient in the face of death. The objective is to demonstrate temporarily the manner how interdisciplinarity among bioethics, theology and medical education could propel humanization in medicine.
