The Panel is focused on opening a space for sharing, reflecting and setting trends on work alternatives and potentialities in the field of socio-medicine, based on the research experiences reflected on, to discuss how anthropologies contribute to train professionals who understand health-disease interactions as a complex vital process of historical and socio-biological character, to face the problems and reduce the inequalities that the neoliberal socio-economic development model has generated in the región: what has been done and what is yet to be done in terms of considering why the anthropological discipline is key in the training of health professionals, how knowledge of social and cultural phenomena contributes to the understanding of the health-disease process, and whether it is possible for social scientists to participate in the medical-institutional amplitude? To recognize that research in Latin America should be oriented towards strengthening socio-medical research by considering the following objectives: to confirm the commitment of critical, committed, militant anthropologies to society by documenting the various paths in the training of medical anthropologists who address the phenomena of salutogenesis; to share the results of programs and projects where the epistemological method and methodology of medical anthropology, anthropology of health, medical sociology, sociology of health, geography of health are the theoretical-methodological basis to configure scenarios of possible alternatives in the construction of solutions to individual and collective health problems with a preventive, intercultural, territorial, gender and generation orientation, as well as to strengthen links and academic exchange in the field of socio-medical research. Health care is considered a necessity and a right, but the universality of a service that promotes population health and attends the disease contingencies that arise, demands professionals focused on salutogenesis, where health prevention depends on an intersectoral investment and not on a state expenditure focused on the disease (curative).
