This introductory course to Thanatology stressed the importance of the area tanatológica an institution like this, most of which serves a population of patients with chronic, progressive, degenerative and incurable, given that the team is ready for his health professional to deal with death, but not when it is treated as inevitable as it is the number one enemy, and they are not sensitized and educated in order to treat the patient and family at this painful and inevitable process.
