SOSA DIAZ, Regina Yamilet; PESTANA LLERENA, Yuseli e ALFONSO DE LEON, José Alberto. Juan Guiteras Gener, representative figure of Medical Education in Cuba. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2019, vol.41, n.1, pp. 250-261. ISSN 1684-1824.
The researches on the work of representative figures of the Cuban educational thought have not been sufficient enough to unveil the contribution of important personalities to the development of education in different levels. Cuban medical education owes important contributions to health professionals´ training to figures like Juan Guiteras Gener. The objective of this article is arguing why Juan Guiteras Gener is considered a representative figure of the Cuban medical education. His bibliographical data and main contributions as doctor, professor, scientist and manager were analyzed for that. There were delimited socio-historical conditions like family environment, the context he developed in and the sources of influence that modeled his pedagogical thought. We used criteria for choosing the historic-educative personalities like the extended educative theory and practice, the social recognition and identification in intellectual groups, the influences of his work prevailing in the society and the compromise with the reality of his time. The study of this personality is stimulated with the purpose of assessing his work on the benefit of Cuban society and his contribution to the development of the universal medicine.
