Abstract

Currently, professional training goes beyond the discipline itself and focuses also on being able to improve our society. Professionals have a great responsibility as active participants in the local, regional, national, or global community they belong to. In the healthcare area, all disciplines must contribute to a deep transformation of the quality of life of all the people in the society, not limited to the patients themselves, but embracing their context, with relatives, friends, etc. The healthcare professional, and professionals of all other areas must, therefore, be competent in their discipline and other transversal components to become an effective change agent. Transversal competencies or soft skills, including citizenship, can also be seen as power skills for all professionals, as they empower them to have a greater impact in their community. Activities focused on the development and self-awareness of these contribute to the training of better professionals in our universities.
