This article is based on the principle that social projection is a valid strategy for the comprehensive education of bacteriology students. This proposal consists in rethinking the bacteriology socio humanistic curriculum as well as the universities social responsibility from a neo-institutional sociological approach to reestablishing the trust, improving networks cooperation, community visibility and civil society in curricular decision-making process. In the view of these arguments are presented thoughts and experiences from a group of teachers and students of the University of Cordoba without pretending to find answers to all the challenges that bacteriology programs face when building their academic paths. This is a contribution to the collective awareness of the importance of incorporating projects and actions to re-evaluate the concept of comprehensive training from the triad-teaching-research-social outreach.
