ARTILES VISBAL, C. Leticia. The Teaching Project and the gender category in the training of health human resources. Educ Med Super [online]. 2005, vol.19, n.2, pp.1-1. ISSN 0864-2141.

The training of human resources in the field of health is based at present on a hegemonical medical model that favors the real incorporation of the social factors as determinants of health and disease. The differences in the risks and in the ways of dying and getting sick as a result of preventable causes conditioned by the diverse cultural assignations socially assumed by men and women, expressed in roles and stereotypes, lead to the recognition of the existance of epidemiological gender profiles. The training of human resources in health requires a model based on the epidemiology of differences, on the recognition of the ways of reproduction and behavior from the subjectivity of the male and the female that conditions another way of promoting, educating, treating and diagnosing the health problems. The incorporation of this perspective and of the pedagogical model on which it is based is determinant for the training of human resources in the social medical model. The Teaching Project supports the incorporation of this category as part of the humanisitic training of professors.
