Abstract

This article is a reflection, from the perspectives of both teachers and students, on the difficulties faced by the field of medical education in pain in Colombia. In this sense, a conceptual review is carried out, from the deficiencies in curricular structuring and time intensity, going through issues such as the positivist medical paradigm and its deleterious effects to educate in the approach to pain from a biopsychosocial perspective, to finally make an approach proposal to the current problem.
