Abstract

Abstract We are witnessing an unprecedented development
of medical science and personalized medicine. However,
technological superiority must not make us lose sight
of the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual totality
of the patient. The core of the medical profession has always
been and will be the relationship between the health
professional and the person seeking assistance. However,
the traditional relationship between the physician and the
patient has changed and is greatly impacted by huge social,
philosophical, economic, and scientific developments.
It is important to develop and promote the culture of
health instead of the culture of illness through a patientdoctor
collaborative partnership, as well as partnership
among professionals. Person-centered medical interview
is an important bridge between personalized and personcentered
medicine.
