RESUMEN

Estudiar Medicina en sus comienzos era un

sueño no fácil de alcanzar, hoy la realidad es

otra. Es alcanzable este sueño con el

condicionamiento de que se necesita entrega,

compromiso, responsabilidad y pocas quejas.

Estas posiciones son tanto para el proceso de

formación donde se debe realizar un examen

de autoevaluación, para evaluar las

insuficiencias personales desde el punto de

vista cognitivo, actitudinal y humano, y para el

posterior proceso de formación posgraduada

donde se deben preparar constantemente con

el propósito de brindar una atención de salud

de calidad.

Palabras clave: estudiar medicina, arte,

RESUMÉ

Étudier la médecine à ses débuts était un rêve

qui n'était pas facile à réaliser, aujourd'hui la

réalité est différente. Ce rêve est réalisable à

condition que la livraison, l'engagement, la

responsabilité et peu de plaintes soient

nécessaires. Ces postes sont à la fois pour le

processus de formation où un examen d'auto-

évaluation doit être effectué, pour évaluer les

insuffisances personnelles du point de vue

cognitif, attitudinal et humain, et pour le

processus de formation post-universitaire

ultérieur où ils doivent être constamment

préparés dans le but de fournir des soins de

santé de qualité.

Mots clés: médecine d'étude, art,

responsabilité

Studying Medicine in its beginnings was a

dream that was not easy to achieve, today the

reality is different. This dream is achievable

with the condition that delivery, commitment,

responsibility and few complaints are needed.

These positions are both for the training

process where a self-assessment exam must

be carried out, to evaluate personal

insufficiencies from the cognitive, attitudinal

and human point of view, and for the

subsequent postgraduate training process

where they must be constantly prepared with

the purpose of to provide quality health care.

It is time to sit down and think about whether

or not what they are experiencing is what they

want for their future six or seven years of

university studies, and for their lives as future

doctors; It is necessary to think about whether

they want to identify themselves within the

area of health care in a significant personal,

professional and human way.

On this long road you will find tolerant people

and teachers, others not much and others

without any tolerance. And do you know why?

Because you are studying to solve a human

health problem as a species and you must be

aware that if you fail to issue a diagnosis or

therapeutic guidance, that human being may

die or cause other health conditions.

Sometimes they will find themselves in

situations where quick, accurate and timely

decision-making is the key to resolving current

situations.

Regardless of the professional performance of

the managers of the training process, the

student must understand their responsibility

towards their learning process and their

personal performance and as a student. There

are students in this case of medicine who,

under circumstances that are unfavorable in

their learning process, orient themselves and

give their best, stop lamenting the arduous

path they have to travel, and with all

seriousness work in order to achieve learning

meaningful and strengthen service learning,

distinguishing itself by its commitment and

delivery.

It is time to reflect and stop looking with a rifle

gaze towards the road already traveled and the

one they have to travel. It is time to transform

that look into a look of commitment,

responsibility, altruism and rethink your

positions and behaviors. It is time to look at

yourself with a self-critical gaze and ask

yourself how much you are willing to sacrifice

and commit to take on the challenges and

become excellent doctors.

In this way, when they graduate, the people

who know them will want to go to their office

to receive the criteria of a professional who

provides security, confidence; from

professional attitudes backed by knowledge,

empathy and assertiveness towards their

patients and, over time, achieve their loyalty.

They must understand that today students

play an active role in the training process,

which is why they are responsible for the

acquisition of significant learning. Self-pity,

constant justifications, looking for blame will

not make you good either as a person or as

future professionals, it will only lead you to

positions of fear, with little commitment to

yourselves and to your professional training

and to society.

Every time you don't feel like moving on, or

you don't like the way of one teacher or the

other, ask yourself what you should do, look

for levels of help; reconsider how you have

developed the activities up to now, rethink

each of the actions to achieve learning. They

should consider how to be a better person and

professional in the future. For which they must

be able to identify their goals and purposes

clearly and precisely, taking into account the

needs of society in full development.

At this point in the analysis, it is recommended

to stop and think about the needs of the

health-disease process, under the “One

Health” approach, from which the need for

doctors to understand and prepare to perform

clinical examinations will be understood.

integral. For which they must constantly

prepare themselves, without stopping to think

trivialities but with delivery, responsibility,

commitment, and above all with humanistic

and fair positions.
