ABSTRACT

Objective: to validate a program proposal for the integration of Bioethics contents for the Medicine career in Bolivian universities.
Methods: a development research was carried out with 60 students and 15 teachers who taught different subjects, they were selected in a simple random manner and a table of random numbers was used. It was implemented in the Universidad Mayor de San Simon and UDABOL in the department of Cochabamba, Bolivia, and theoretical, empirical, statistical methods and expert criteria were used.
Results: of the 60 sample students, 43 do not know the term Bioethics, have not heard of it or have not been treated in classes (71,6%); 100% of the students agree on the need to include Bioethics in the Plan of Studies because through this knowledge, its principles and postulates, they would graduate more prepared. In an interview with 15 teachers who teach the cycle of subjects related to the specialty of Medicine, only two know about Bioethics, for 13,3%, the remaining 13 dominate general ethical elements of education, but claim to ignore the term Bioethics, which constitutes 86,7% of the total number of teachers interviewed.
Conclusions: with the application of different methods it was possible to confirm the lack of knowledge and the need of the content of Bioethics in the Medicine career in the Bolivian universities. The Bioethics Program for the career of Natural Sciences, was validated as very appropriate, by the criteria of experts and demonstrates its relevance and application in the Medicine career.
