Abstract
dc.description.abstract
Alejandro Goic, M.D., son of Croatian immigrants, graduated as M.D. in
1955, studying at the Catholic University of Chile Medical School. After a residency
in internal medicine, he followed post graduate studies in psychosomatic
medicine at the University of Oklahoma and in gastroenterology at Harvard
University. Upon his return to Chile he had a brilliant career as clinician and
medical educator, becoming a leader and advisor in medical education, clinical
ethics and public health. Elected Dean of the University of Chile School of Medicine
(1986-1994), he promoted important changes in undergraduate studies
as well as in Magister and PhD programs in Biomedical Sciences. During the
difficult years of the military government intervention in Chilean universities,
he was one of the leaders of critical opposition. In parallel he was chief editor of
Revista Médica de Chile (1976-1996), improving the editorial process according
to the recommendations of ICMJE and WAME. In 1989 he was elected member
of the Chilean Academy of Medicine and became its President (2000-2010).
He was awarded honors and membership in prominent national and foreign
institutions. In 2006 he received the National Prize in Medicine, the highest
medical distinction in Chile. His wise thinking and enthusiasm gave origin to
several books that have become classics in Medicine and Medical Education,
permeating our institutions.
