The aim of this paper is to present an historical review of the philosophical, scientific and social aspects which the teaching have suffered and the practice of the medicine until nowadays allowing the professors and the students to have a simple and an easy document avoiding the review of the separate and sometimes bothersome texts on the theme already discussed allowing the increase of the medical culture. If we attained this aspect we will be satisfied because it will remain printed in the paper. It is a descriptive retrospective and prospective study of the historical nature of many texts and publications using theoretic methods of investigation. As a result of the study, six philosophic and social moments from medicine and from its teaching are obtained which framed the development of science. It is concluded that it is very important to know the past for attaining a better future and to have a positive influence on the teaching-learning process.

Palabras clave : HISTORY OF MEDICINE; MEDICAL PHILOSOPHY; TEACHING.
