From biomedical graduation to Family Medicine: learning to become a "person's doctor"

This paper introduces education as sign of reality representation of modeling systems starting from a socio-philosophical reflection developed by Kuhn, Fleck and Wittgenstein. Through a qualitative research, we discussed biomedical graduation and residence graduation specificities in a Family Medicine Program and the Community, as a process to change this view. During the interview with medicine residents, in their discourse, two conclusions emerged: the inadequation of the biomedical formation to solve population health care issues involving basic attention and the need to a reorientation to the "sick subject" and their subjectivities to become a "person's doctor".
