Abstract

In this work I make a brief analysis of the process that a student follows to become a doctor and I highlight the importance of developing ethical and moral qualities in the student, as well as the importance of learning humanistic medicine, as a tool to improve the doctor-patient relationship and promote the development of patient-centered medical care.
