Over the past few years many problems have arisen in the health area, mostly as a result of breakthroughs in biotechnosciences. Being aware of the lack of space in the present medical curriculum for discussing many of these issues, students and faculty members of the Educational Foundation "Serra dos Órgãos" (FESO) suggested the creation of a Study Center in Philosophy and Heaslh (NEFISA), a space intended for fostering discussion, teaching and research on subjects that are interfacing philosophy, medicine and health. The purpose of this article is to present the work done at NEFISA-FESO.
