Bioética e promoção da saúde docente na educação superior

What is it about?

The Health Promoting Universities (HPU) - World Health Organization (WHO) approach considers that Higher Education Institutions (HEI) play a preponderant role in preserving the health and well-being of the academic community. HEIs under this paradigm are driven by conceptual frameworks of health promotion (HP), and by interdisciplinary values such as inclusion, equity, social justice and sustainability.

Why is it important?

Bioethics, together with HPU and HP, presents itself as a reflexive, mutually shared and interdisciplinary tool that aims at the adequacy of actions that comprise life and citizenship, in its equitable and inclusive character, in the context of Higher Education. In this text Bioethics seeks to reflect on the teaching HP in HEI, contributing to the construction of qualified processes of actions in teacher’s health.
