ABSTRACT
Education is now in a process of change, but maintenance of the status quo is more evident than the innovations, reforms, or transformations. We are all the subjects of education as teachers and learners, and as such are permanently committed to the education of both others (teachers, students, community) and ourselves. Faculty and students are the main responsibility of medical education, since they more than anyone else are familiar with the specified reality of each given medical school, its weaknesses and strengths, its advantages and disadvantages, its place in the community, and its people . There is no rigorous professional knowledge based on technical rationality that can fully deal, on its own, with the complex field of interpersonal relationship in education or the health professions. Therefore, it behooves us to restore the human side of our daily practice by seeking to develop attitudes and competencies favoring mutual trust and empathy in the teacher-learner and health professional-patient relationship. To restore dignity in education and health care involves respecting limits, but also advancing towards new possibilities.
