MARTINEZ MARREROS, Emilio Gerardo. The "core curriculum": a debate on medical education. educ.educ. [online]. 2006, vol.9, n.2, pp.189-196. ISSN 0123-1294.

Difficulties on how to evaluate valuable contents for future doctors and the way to include them into the Curriculum, in order to eliminate those items not really important for them as professionals, is one of the most discussed points in Medical Education. For any professional person (during his/her educational process) is very important to have a clear definition of the contents he/she will study and their relevance in order to permit him/her developing specific abilities needed when he or she will end School. This article makes a reflection about the "core curriculum": its determination and the problems to make it real within Basic Sciences. We also propose some criteria for its determination.

Keywords : Medical education; Curriculum; Teaching; Basic sciences.
