Introduction:

Doctors have a transcendental role in society as they become managers of one of the main treasures of the human being: health. This study emphasizes the training process of these professionals, considering the medical students’ behavioras well as the importance of their social and interpersonal relationships, for an adequate human projection in the socio-professional context.

Objective:

To elaborate the model of the interactive dynamics of personal-professional self-development in the socio-humanistic training of the medical student.

Methods:

A longitudinal study was carried out, with a qualitative approach and using the socio-critical paradigm through the method of multiple case study. To collect the information, in-depth interview, questionnaire and focus groups were used, which became the empirical basis of the proposed model, which was built with the holistic-dialectical method.

Results:

The scientific novelty of the study is found in the logic of the socio-humanist training of medical students, shaped from professional personal self-development, which, with a social-interactive character, is expressed in the formative construction of new personal self-referents in and for the medical profession.

Conclusions:

The model of the interactive dynamics of personal-professional self-development in the socio-humanist training of the medical student expresses the dialectical unity between the human-professional formative dimension and the transcendent professional socio-humanist dimension, where the essential regularity revealed is the formative systematization of personal self-referents in and for the profession.
