Abstract

This work aimed to evaluate the perception that students and researchers of the Medical School's Center for Veterinary Health and Technology Rural Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG) have on bioethics, and to evaluate the systematic work of the Ethics Committee (CEP). We applied a questionnaire with open and closed questions to obtain data. The sample comprised 30% of (the) student (s) of each group studied (1, 5 and 10 periods of the semester 10.2) of the course. We conducted semi-structured interview with the president of the Ethics Research Center researchers and 30% of the course. It was found that medical researchers and students of veterinary medicine veterinary medical ethics and bioethics consider extremely important, despite evidence of low interest and knowledge update. The lack of knowledge by researchers of Law No. 11.794 (procedures for scientific use of animals), reference for any research involving animals. As for the CEP of the CSTR / UFCG, there is a lack of knowledge of its existence by the population of the CSTR, requiring greater disclosure of the same importance as well as the submission of research to it, remembering that the committee should have as order to meet the ethical uncertainties or resolve conflicts and not a disciplinary action. A tighter integration between the coordination of Veterinary Medicine and the researchers on the discussion of teaching bioethics, because when you insert the teaching of animal welfare in their curricula, universities increase the adequacy of its graduates to the current job market and contribute to an improvement in the ethics of human-animal relationship.
