For 40 years, and under all skies, our academic unit has worked to improve the professionalism of caregivers; to disseminate a biopsychosocial and negotiated care model in health services; and to give medicine and healthcare systems a social and professional purpose – the complete opposite of a commercial and industrial purpose. The goal was to simultaneously improve the living and working conditions of caregivers. We have theorized our practice of community medicine and public-purpose management for the benefit of our students.
