SUMMARY The development and extension of activities in the domain of the social history of medicine in Spain since the 1960s is reviewed. Attention is paid, first, to the institutional setting and theoretical background of this broad line of research, taking the perspective of the professionalization of the subject of the ‘history of medicine’ as an under-graduate discipline in the syllabus of the Faculties of Medicine. Secondly, four main directions for research are outlined, namely disease and society, health policies, health professions and gender and medicine, including critical attention to the principal works, active authors, and working and narrative styles.

Keywords: medical history; Spain; historical epidemiology; history of health policies; history of health professions; gender and medicine
