AGUILAR CANTON, Isaac E et al. Integral medical education to face barriers for community healthcare in The African physician. Rev Med Cine [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.3, pp.187-195.  Epub May 30, 2022. ISSN 1885-5210.  https://dx.doi.org/10.14201/rmc2021173187195.

An individual's set of knowledge, skills, principles and values to carry out his medical work well serves to strengthen the unfolding in a community. The film the African physician (2016) of Julien Rambaldi, has as its main theme the effort and attitudes of the Congolese doctor Zantoko and how he faces the fear racism of the habitans of rural village Marly-Gomont on the seventies. The film shows an isolated French community, who had never seen black people; places us with Zantoko's family in the context of the community, which allows us to understand the fundamental point that may have served as practical and necessary tools for the work of the community doctor. It invites us to reflect on the difficulties that may occur in the face of the lack of knowledge needed to serve a community and ignorance of it. It is an excellent film for teaching and learning topics related to the work of health professionals at the population/local level.

Keywords : public health; medical education; primary care; racism; learning and social accountability.
