Abstract

CARRENO R., José Nel. Bioethics and University: The University Hospital, Private or Public Institution?. Rev. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2007, vol.5, n.3, pp.91-101. ISSN 1692-7273.

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.

Keywords : Hospital; medical education; ethics.
