Family Medicine During and After covid-19

Abstract

The pandemic caused by the sars-CoV-2 virus has shown the urgent need to advance from the biomedical model towards Patient-Centered Medicine (pcm), which involves an approach to the health-disease process from the social determinants of health, the syndemic theoretical framework and the paradigm of Evidence-Based Medicine (ebm). The integration of administrative, research and health training allows the family physician to design and coordinate promotion and prevention programs, as well as to suggest changes in public health policies on a small and large scale. This document seeks to describe the importance of Family Medicine to strengthen Primary Health Care (phc).
