摘要：Introduction Biomedical progress in the last two centuries has had a significant effect on society. However, the teaching on the mutual relationship between bioscience and society is still lacking in most universities. Material and methods A description is presented on the characteristics of the subject Biomedicine, society and culture . This is devoted to introduce, the interaction of biomedicine with history, economy, sociology, and culture, to graduate students of masters programs. The evaluation of the first three years (2015-2017) of the experience is reported. Student beliefs and opinions were evaluated by means of a questionnaire that used a five point Likert type scale for the agreement with some statements, and a quantitative scale (zero to five) for their opinion with the contents of the subject. Results The questionnaire on the experience was completed by 51 students. Most of them (89%) were graduates of biomedical disciplines. They gave the highest score (Fully agree) to the statements that the subject had fulfilled their expectations, that they would recommend it to other students, and the fact that the subject had increased their knowledge on the mutual relationship between biomedicine and social and cultural factors. The topics that they scored the highest were historical aspects (4.5 ± 0.6), sociological implications (4.6 ± 0.7) and bioethical considerations (4.5 ± 0.6), whereas the lowest was cultural aspects (3.9 ± 1.0) Discussion The subject described here may contribute to enhancing the understanding of the importance of a mutual relationship between biomedicine and society by postgraduate students. Similar initiatives may help in establishing the context of scientific progress in an important area such biomedicine.
