Medicina privada e saúde pública estariam convergindo? I. O problema e argumentos que justificariam o preparo do estudante de medicina em medicina comunitária

Abstract

The author comments on the approximation that would be happening between medical and public health teaching, in face of the establishment of Departments of Community Medicine in some schools of medicine. After that, he presents some arguments that would indicate the evolution of Private Medicine in sense of a more effective performance in the community, contributing then to a real integration of the medical field.
