title: [Academic challenges in a School of Medicine].
abstract: Developing a School of Medicine involves being aware of the changes that have taken place in the past years, particularly those concerning the characteristics of students and young faculty, their main motivations and the research, teaching and professional practice scenarios that are being offered by Chilean medical schools and clinical sites. Inspired by these challenges, and from the viewpoint of the generational differences, this article discusses the present development of an academic career founded on humanistic and university values, the tutorial teaching model, academic medicine, and the concept of professionalism.
