Person-centred medicine

A humanistic approach

Person-centred medicine

A humanistic approach

The University of Deusto is committed to a person-centred medicine approach that entails treating the patient, not the illness. It is essential to listen to patients and enable them to express their concerns and talk to patients.

In medicine, humanism is paramount and leaves behind the paternalistic model. Involving patients in their diagnosis and treatment, while maintaining their autonomy and decision-making capacity, creates a doctor-patient alliance that helps improve their health. «No decision about me, without my participation», is a growing demand. It is a change that allows to offer patients a more comprehensive response that adds value to the knowledge and responsibility of medical professionals.

Problem-based learning

PBA methodology

Where does it come from?

You will learn with the ABP methodology, Problem-Based Learning, as it first was carried out by innovative McMaster University (Canada) a few years ago,always ranked top in Medicine, thus revolutionising medical education worldwide.

In Spain, one of the pioneers in using the PBL method for medicine is the University of Girona, which has provided guidance, advice and support to the University of Deusto since 2016. Joint collaboration will continue in the coming years thanks to an agreement signed between both institutions.

What is it about?

Studying medicine using the PBL method means that you will build your knowledge through real-life problemsand cases in their systemic context. Furthermore, in addition to acquiring knowledge, you will also develop your interpersonal and teamwork skills. PBL also promotes critical thinking, ongoing self-directed learning and research skills development.

Academic staff

The academic staff at the University of Deusto have been trained in this methodology to guide and monitor your learning process.

Medicine

International Programme

Living and studying abroad

In fourth year, students who meet the academic and language requirements may be eligible to take part in an international mobility experience in the second semester. The mobility placements scheduled for the Bachelor's Degree in Medicine are designed as part of the programme to enhance the profile of the degree. In this regard, its priority objectives are to:

Acquire a broader perspective of graduates' professional development, particularly from a practical perspective.
Promote the development of skills that are key to the work of future medical graduates (teamwork, attention to diversity, development of the values of peace, social justice and solidarity, among others) through international exchange.
Achieve significant cross-cultural training experiences, which are inherent to these professionals' work.
Work intensively on the development of competences related to foreign language skills.

Agreements with other universities

The University of Deusto has framework agreements in force with international universities that include the Bachelor's Degree in Medicine in their curricula.

Likewise, the University of Deusto has its own network of Jesuit universities (UNIJES)that offer degrees in the area of health, such as Medicine and Biomedicine across the five continents.
