Abstract

Among the common links between medical and ethical education, prudence, as a virtue, is highly important. Both, in clinical training and in moral education there is a main principle: not to damage and seeking good in actions. These similarities have being a constant since the ancient Greece; philosophers like Hippocrates and Aristotle had something in common: both were passionate doctors, and both were sponsors of the good living. In the current article we analyze the Hippocrates oak, stating its relationship with the modern bioethics thoughts. Likewise, we intended to show how, since the ancient times up today, with the new challenges of the modern times, prudence and moral virtue intertwine from the beginning to the end in health professionals training.
