VILLEGAS MUNERA, Elsa María. THE VALUE OF AUTONOMY AND COMMUNITY PRACTICES: FROM REFLECTION TO ACTION IN THE ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.1, pp.32-41. ISSN 1657-4702.

The growing trend in Colombia to the denial of professional Autonomy in Medicine is based on the research as Decisiones Médicas en ambientes controlados en el contexto del Sistema de Salud Colombiano, 2007 -2008, led by the Management and Public Policy Group on Health of the School of Public Health of Universidad de Antioquia. In relation to this investigation, this article proposes a reflection on ethical and professional Autonomy on undergraduate students in such a way that it is achieved but strengthens it. By this time, the perspective is achieved from the axis social curriculum as one of those required for the formation in Autonomy of Health Professionals in addition to other topics that focus on the material and individual. This way, the learning of the rules and criteria that will be used as base for the self-government in the professional practice, can incorporate the intersubjective consideration into the individuals, the families and the communities.

Keywords : Autonomy; social; curriculum; medical education; academic practices; medical profession.
