Natural and Social History of the Health-Disease Process as an Epistemological Model for Medical Education (Part 1)

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Research & Method in Education (IOSRJRME) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 5

Abstract

In order to characterize the epistemological models of medical sciences of use in medical training, the study was carried out from the field of philosophical hermeneutics. From the analysis of documentary sources a horizon of understanding of the historical evolution of the theoretical models of medical sciences is constructed. Recovering the study of Antonio Arredondo, 11 explanatory models of the health-disease process are identified, which are grouped into 6 epistemological models: deterministic, animistic, ecological triad, risk approach, sociocultural approach, systemic approach. Two fundamental aspects stand out in relation to medical education: the conception of the ontological, epidemiological and healthcare dimension of the disease; and the application of the principle of causality to the genesis and evolution of the disease. It is concluded that the dimensions of the disease and the causal relationship are the axes to support the model of the natural and social history of the health-disease process as an epistemological model for the medical sciences and their teaching.
