The Subject termed Philosophy and Health is part of a syllabus in the Medical Science Study. The social and human themes linked to the daily work of doctors, dentists, nurses and technicians, working all of them for the Health Care Programs ,demand philosophic reflections related closely to the problems present in the community, hospitals and international scenarios. Some reflections are presented on the Subject Program basing on the extent of the new scenarios of working as well as the use of the protagonists through the different teaching ways. The results demonstrated the necessity for adapting to the new circumstances, some aspects non-exposed in the current program on themes related to the "human activity" and "the ways of the social conscience". It had been demonstrated the efficiency of the workers who have gone to other countries for working, as a teaching tool as well as the research which allow to relate their experiences to certain themes about the subject we are trying in this article. It also allows an approach to complex themes on economic education and social communication influencing on undesirable situations having their essence in the lack of fulfillment of the ethical principles of Medicine. It is concluded that this subject elevates the motivations in the students, reaffirming the link between theory and practice and contributing to the strengthening of the Ideological-Political Work.
