By understanding vocation as the call received by every human being to exist and give his/her own existence a meaning, we propose this element as one of the fundamentals of personalist bioethics. This vocational dimension analysis of the person allows a better understanding of the primacy of responsibility, the untransferable value of identity, the attention to others and the role of health professionals as transmitters of such call.esCorporación Universitaria LasallistaInstitución Universitaria Colegio Mayor de AntioquiaUniversidad Pontificia BolivarianaBioéticaVocación profesionalLa vida humana como experiencia del llamado a la existencia: implicaciones en bioéticaHuman life as an experience of the call for existence: bioethical implicationsA vida humana como experiência do chamado à existência: implicação na bioéticaArticle
