In order to acquire a real and useful knowledge of medicine, the practice in the hospital setting is indispensable. Public, former charity hospitals have been the scenary for student practice. In a paternalistic model of medicine this was understandable. Nevertheless now that the model has changed to a more respectful of autonomy and justice this discrimination appears as unethical. There are no real reasons to discriminate education in such a way. Medical education should happen in both the public and private sector.

Palabras clave : Hospital; medical education; ethics.
