Abstract Upon the thirtieth anniversary of the creation of the Medical Psychology Department of the School of Medicine, the study presents a discussion on the development of the discipline, both in terms of its field of action and in professional aspects. The foundational basis can be traced up to the Plan 1968 with the contribuition of professors who manily had a background in psychoanalysis, behavioral medicina, and health psychology. The importance of the inclusion of Gerorge Engel’s biopsychosocial model, both theoretically and in the provision of healthcare services is hereby pointed out. Its professional field is described in terms of service and training. In particular, new proposals and challenges arising from a studies plan approved in 2008 are commented, and the approach by Medical Psychology is discussed. Likewise, the approach of a patient-centered medicine medicine is analysed, emphasizing on the improvement of healthcare quality, the development of physicians’ communication skills and professionalism issues.
