The health of medical students
Introduction and objectives
The health promotion for medical students programme commenced in 2009. Considering the capacity to absorb knowledge and ideas that this collective of future professionals displays at this point in their lives, we consider it an ideal moment to start to raise awareness amongst medical students regarding the importance of looking after their own health and preparing to carry out their professional practice in a healthy manner. This programme focuses on the necessary skills and knowledge as well as attitudes relating to context, emotions and human relationships.
Objectives:
- To understand the health status of students studying medicine locally.
- To undertake activities focussed on psycho-affective risk prevention and health promotion amongst medical students in order to prepare them for healthy professional practice.
