Abstract

The subject of this article is Bioethics and its role in the formation of future health professionals. The objective is to highlight the need to improve the bioethical formation of future health practitioners. A Spanish and English search in Medline, Ebsco, Pubmed, Hinari and Scielo was performed, showing deficiencies in the acquisition of bioethical competencies in medical career students at international level. It is stated that in medical curricula Bioethics should be dealt with as a comprehensive transverse axis.
