Bioethics, bridge to medical education

Research in education assumes that every intuition regarding the improvement of the educational process is followed by one demonstration and foundation. Creativeness and rigour with the relative implications in the context of research and difficulties are the two main elements.

The knowledge that features the transition from a PHOG approach in teaching: prejudice, hunches, opinions, guess to an evidence-based education is not easy to collect, to document and to generalize. But this is still not easy to apply in a context that is very difficult to improve, to know and to check. To obtain high quality education research activity is needed, because the costs and consequences of the non quality are very high and serious and the relapsing could be very important from the assistance, social prevention and clinical research point of view.

In the university research is done in everyone's cultural area, but it should also be done in the teaching area. This is important especially in a faculty of medicine where education depends on continuous improvements in assistance and also in the prevention to be carried out through projects aiming at education to health.
