Diversity in Health Sciences Education: Advocating for Difference in Biological Variability
Journal Title: RHS-Revista Humanismo y Sociedad - Year 2025, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
The discussion of totalitarianism, dualism and pluralism is crucial in education, specifically for health professionals. Given the interdisciplinary nature of these concepts, a comprehensive literature review is necessary to examine recent studies on genetic and phenotypic diversity, evolution, adaptation and health education. Dualism and biological totalitarianism are approaches that have historically had a negative influence on health sciences education and society. In contrast, pluralism acknowledges the inherent complexity and diversity of human beings, offering a more suitable framework for health education. This approach promotes a holistic and adaptive understanding of learning within the health sciences. Integrating biological diversity and plurality into the training of health professionals is crucial to foster innovation and adaptability among students.
