Abstract

. Notes of method to imagine an education tailored to the future. Health and social inequalities represent a problem not only from an ethical point of view but also from the point of view of public and social health. Unfortunately, this issue remains confined to conferences and debates and is not yet the subject of a serious reflection on how to constructively and permanently incorporate it in the education of health professionals, to provide the skill to read and interpret data, and to make research. This contribution, in addition to providing some reflections, launches an initiative that aims at incorporating these contents in the basic education, to make the message of Florence Nightingale real: wounds, suffering, dying and the absurdity of disability can be taken care of, be part of the care, only if you learn to recognize the causes, which are not only in the medical domain.
