SANTOS, Paulo Sérgio Nunes dos; GRANADO, António Maria Salvado Coxito  and  GIRAO, Henrique. A importância da comunicação em saúde. RILP [online]. 2018, vol.33, pp.15-25.  Epub July 29, 2021. ISSN 2182-4452.  https://doi.org/10.31492/2184-2043.rilp2018.33/pp.15-25.

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate, briefly, the paths to be taken by science communication, more specifically by health communication, in institutional terms and in the context of a Medical School. It is understood that this area has been devalued, but it presently takes on an enormous preponderance in the sense of a responsibility on the part of the society, since it is the link between the scientific community and the non-specialized public. Thus, following some recent trends, it is proposed that a Medical School should not neglect this area of study, but rather reinforce the bet, based on four fundamental values - training, civic education, promotion and outreach, and innovation and research -, forming better professionals and bringing society closer to the research made.

Keywords : science communication; Medical School; institutional communication; formation; health communication.
