PEREZ PIZON, Luis Rubén. Medicine in Colombia. Profession mediated by external precepts and internal prestige (eighteenth to twentieth centuries). Anu.hist.reg.front. [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.1, pp.205-221.  Epub Dec 30, 2019. ISSN 0122-2066.  https://doi.org/10.18273/revanu.v25n1-2020007.

Medicine is the profession whose training and practice processes have been more regulated and supervised since its colonial institutional origins. To the controls of the colonial protomedicates, the Scientific Academies of the Republic and the Associations of Faculties during the twentieth century, they were added public policies and university processes of accreditation with the best and highest quality at the beginning of the 21st century . The article describes the history of medicine in Colombia, presenting an alternate historiographic perspective from processes of control and accreditation of the profession mediated by precepts and practices. This article is the result of a qualitative research process with a descriptive nature in which different sources are reviewed and contrasted. It allows to research the titling processes, historiographic currents and analytical foundations of the accreditation of professions in health which demonstrate continuity of association practices and bicentennial conceptions.

Keywords : medicine; historiography; profession; accreditation; Colombia..
