Abstract(s)
Cada vez mais a literatura existente tem apresentado evidências relativas aos
benefícios da aplicação de uma perspetiva baseada no sexo e no género ao nível da
Medicina (Sex and Gender Based Medicine). Isto é, uma perspetiva que lida com as
diferenças fisiológicas e fisiopatológicas entre os indivíduos do sexo feminino e
masculino, mas que também tem em conta a construção social do género e o modo como
as diferenças sociais daí resultantes influenciam a saúde e os comportamentos de saúde
das pessoas. Através da discussão da possível existência de um viés de género na
medicina, o qual tem vindo a ser ilustrado, inclusive, com recurso à medicina baseada na
evidência, pretende-se aferir qual a pertinência da introdução de uma perspetiva médica
baseada no sexo e no género na medicina, discutindo ainda as implicações que esta trará
à prática clínica e, em particular, à Educação Médica. Em termos de investigação
empírica, recorreu-se à análise documental da informação existente nos sites e,
particularmente, nos curricula dos Mestrados Integrados em Medicina das Escolas
Médicas públicas, em Portugal, com vista a perceber em que medida é assumida a
pertinência de incorporar uma dimensão de género no ensino médico, e em que medida
a mesma está presente nos conteúdos programáticos das Unidades Curriculares que
compõem o Plano de Estudos.
There is growing evidence in the literature of the benefits of applying a sex and gender based medicine perspective. That is, a perspective that deals with the physiological and pathophysiological differences between females and males, but also considers the social construction of gender and how the resulting social differences influence people’s health and health behaviors. By discussing the possible existence of a gender bias in medicine, which has been illustrated with the use of evidence-based medicine, we intend to assess the relevance of introducing a medical perspective based on sex and gender in medicine, discussing the implications that this will bring to clinical practice and, in particular, to medical education. In terms of empirical research, we resorted to documentary analysis of existing information on the websites and, particularly, in the curricula of Integrated Masters in Medicine of public medical schools in Portugal, in order to understand to what extent the relevance of incorporating a gender dimension in medical education is assumed, and to what extent it is present in the syllabus of the Course Units that make up the Study Plan.
