This article briefly discusses the teaching of humanities at the Medicine course and presents a proposal developed at the Center of Medical Education Development (CEDEM) of the Medicine School of São Paulo University (Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo - FMUSP) for the integration of this area in the curriculum.
