| Summary: | Family Medicine is a medical specialty that proposes a new model for medical professionals, with a differentiated approach to education
centered in caring for individuals, in a continued and broader assistance coordinating also biopsychosocial components. Family doctors
is accredited to take responsibility for the patient in hospital settings and to contribute to the co-ordination of cares, producing consequently a
higher quality of service and a greater satisfaction of patients and relatives to received care. An approach centered in the person contributes, even
in hospital settings, better conditions for both deciding on the use of diagnostic and therapeutic resources very often unnecessary or ineffective
and also in care in the application of interventions strange to the patients’ home reality but which must be maintained after they returning to
their homes, making extremely difficult their routine in a way that almost prevents adhesion top treatments. From these initial reflections, the
program of medical residence in Family Medicine is approached by means of an individual analysis of daily activities and a debate about daily
experiences from clinical cases assisted by female residents. After 6 months in residence we can certainly say that today we practice the kind of
medicine we dream about and we know that in practice this kind of medicine makes a difference in the life of our patients and his relatives and
which Family Medicine is possible We may also say in a country with so many social inequalities like ours, Family Medicine emerges as a viable
alternative for a more just and human health care. |
