[The National Museum of Medicine (II). The Republican period (1831-1891)].
This paper deals with the historic aspects of the XIXth century section of the Museum. Pictures, documents, objects and instruments of physicians at that time are displayed. This is the time of birth and development of Medical Education in Chile, with the creation of the School of Medicine (1833) and the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Chile (1843). New hospitals (Salvador, San Vicente and San José) were founded around 1872. The first Faculty members came from Spain, England, France and Germany, and were joined by some Chilean professionals. The new School of Medicine Building was inaugurated in 1889 and the Bureau of Public Health created at that time. The first Chilean physicians to obtain fellowships around 1874 brought the specific and technological advances found in Europe.
