Can Virtues be taught in Medicine? Aristotle’s Virtue Theory and Medical Education and Clinical Practice

SHAH, Niloy; MARCUM, James A.

Original title: As Virtudes podem ser ensinadas em Medicina? Teoria Aristotélica das Virtudes, Educação Médica e Prática Clínica

Keywords: Aristotle, Clinical practice, Medical Education, Virtues.

In a complex and technologically sophisticated healthcare system, the utilization of virtues, which emphasizes the art of clinical practice, is often eclipsed by the technical science of its practice. Consequently, the training of physicians generally focuses on the objective and quantifiable science of clinical practice, which at times cripples the patient-physician relationship. To counter this impact on the patient-physician relationship, medical educators are developing pedagogical strategies to teach virtues to medical students and residents. But, can virtues be taught in medical school or in the clinic? To address this question, we explore how Aristotelian virtue theory can be integrated into the medical education experience, which leads to the formation of virtuous physicians. We then conclude by discussing issues surrounding the incorporation of virtues into the medical curriculum.

The body in the pedagogical philosophy of Ramon Llull (1232-1316)

GIUBERTI, Fabricia dos Santos

Original title: O corpo na filosofia pedagógica de Ramon Llull (1232-1316)

Keywords: Body, Doctrine for Children, History of Medicine, Ramon Llull.

Ramon Llull (1232-1316) in his work Doctrine for Children (c. 1274-1276) teaches his son Dominic that the human body is composed of four elements, an idea inherited from Greek medicine, and that such elements corrupt the man’s body. There are five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. Through them, the man participates in external things. For the Mallorcan, bodily life is the actuality by which the body lives, and the spiritual life is to love God. From these principles, Llull teaches the child that he must love the bodily life and health because, through health, the soul and the body are convenient to each other, and the man lives by convenience.The purpose of this paper is to present the conception of Ramon Llull about the body as exposed on Doctrine for Children, methodologically combined with the historical perspective of Jacques Le Goff and Nicholas Truong in the work "A History of the Body in the Middle Ages".

Compassion – The Lost Pearl of Healthcare

CRUZ, Jorge

Original title: Compaixão – A pérola perdida dos cuidados de saúde

Keywords: Compassion, Doctor-patient relationship., Edmund D. Pellegrino, Virtue ethics.

Compassion is on the list of virtues that many bioethicists consider indispensable for the provision of more humanized health care and taking into account the best interest of patients. After an introduction of the theory of virtue ethics and its importance to bioethics and healthcare, we will present the etymological and semantic meaning of the virtue of compassion, particularly from the perspective of Edmund D. Pellegrino and David C. Thomasma. Since, in our opinion, bioethical reflection only makes sense if it is relevant or could be applied to everyday clinical practice, we will present some practical examples involving the virtue of compassion especially in the doctor-patient relationship.
