[History of Cañadilla School of Medicine].
The building of the Cañadilla School of Medicine of the University of Chile, inaugurated during the government of President Jose Manuel Balmaceda Fernández (1886-1891), was located northern to the men's section of the San Vicente de Paul Hospital. This magnificent building, with an impressive front beautified with six Doric columns, received sixty generations of young physicians. It was finally destroyed by a tragic fire during the early morning on Thursday second, December 1948. The new Faculty of Medicine of the University of Chile emerged from its ashes.
