Abstract

Medical training combines theoretical-practical learning processes gaining hands-on experience with community service; this link impacts academic development of students and teachers with a deeper understanding of the importance of integral medicine that embraces respect for the human being, his environment, his language and his culture. This paper presents the experience of the Service-Learning project of students of the medical career of the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador in the Tránsito Amaguaña Intercultural Bilingual Educational Unit, a process that promotes inclusion and medical service in the margin of acceptance of the cultural diversity and the eradication of racism.
