Merit professor Ilizástigui Dupuy, F. (1924_2005), founder of the Cuban Society of Educators in Health Sciences, he has been considered an outstanding representative of the medical education and he left us a rich cultural legacy based on theory as well as in the practice associated to the formation of health professionals in the late 40 years in Cuba. He has a great incidence in the principal problems concerning the medical education at present, especially those dealing with the formation of medical doctors in the XXIs century. Professor Ilizástigui´s conception about the education at work is the core of his pedagogical theory. It defends the interaction of the students with the object of study in real health care scenarios so as to develop professional ways of acting. He puts a strong remark on the fact that the medical practice should not be superseded by the academic or researching components of the formative process.

Keywords : cuban medical education; Fidel Ilizástigui Dupuy; education at work.
