Presentation

The future Bachelor's Degree in Medicine* will be built on three fundamental pillars that address the challenges of 21st-century medicine: technology, humanism, and social commitment. This innovative approach we plan to implement ensures comprehensive training that combines scientific knowledge with the personal and social dimensions of medical practice.

We aim to equip medical students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become professionals with a comprehensive view of health. The doctor we plan to train will have up-to-date technical preparation in the technological field and a deeply human education, enabling them to approach patient care with sensitivity and empathy.

Who is it for?

The recommended entry profile for the future Bachelor's Degree in Medicine* at Universitat Ramon Llull will correspond to candidates motivated to acquire the knowledge and develop the skills necessary to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases, as well as to promote the health and well-being of individuals and the community. They should have a deep interest in understanding the biological, psychological, and social aspects of health, social awareness and a vocation for serving others, strong ethical values, and respect for patients’ rights.

The objectives and competencies of the Bachelor's Degree in Medicine are those established in Order ECI/332/2008, of February 13, which sets the requirements for the verification of official university degrees that qualify for the practice of the medical profession.

*Pending approval by the Council of Universities

Major areas for professional development

  1. Access to specialized medical training (MIR), which qualifies professionals to practice medicine in various areas of the public or publicly funded healthcare sector (primary care, hospital care, long-term and social care, mental health), in hospitals, primary care teams, long-term care centers, mental health facilities, emergency medical transport services, and other healthcare services.
  2. Self-employed medical practice, either in a private medical office or as part of the medical staff in privately owned hospitals, mutual insurance organizations, or private insurance companies. Private practice is a career option for physicians who wish to work in this field, either as their main professional activity or as a complement to practicing in the public healthcare system.
  3. International organizations such as the WHO or Doctors Without Borders.
  4. University teaching and/or teaching at various academic levels and settings related to health sciences education.
  5. Research in universities and/or within public administrations, as well as in public health centers and institutions.

Gender perspective

As the European Union points out, gender equality is not only a matter of social justice but also affects the results of teaching and research. Promoting gender equality in research and innovation is one of the European Commission's commitments, and it supports the explicit integration of a gender perspective in Horizon 2020 projects. However, this recommendation is often poorly understood and misapplied. Various documents are presented here with a view to contributing to a better understanding and application of the gender perspective in teaching and research.
