Why is it important?

The majority of courses did not provide the Bioethics subject, inferring the need for its inclusion in all courses as a way to comply with the existing national curricular guidelines and provide adequate humanistic education to future professionals.

Perspectives

It is necessary that the entire physical and human structure of the Dentistry course is aligned with the same framework of values and that humanistic training, especially provided by Bioethics, is offered to students during their undergraduate courses. It is understood that such incorporation should be a demand from professors to their departments, as well as from those responsible for educational institutions, and also an important item in the evaluation of courses.
