History is one of the disciplines serving Medicine and other Health Sciences. Since time began and due to its evolutionary features as well as its informative and formative values, History has permitted to praise excellence in professional performance.
The School of Medicine of Cordoba was created on October 10th, 1877. The first syllabus was developed by Dr. Henry Weyenbergh and put into practice in March 1878. Article 4 of such syllabus presented History of Medicine as a “not compulsory course”, the same as Medical Chemistry and Experimental Toxicology.
In 1927, Dr Felix Garzón Maceda (4) referred to History of Medicine as a: “Subject not created yet for any Argentinian School, in spite of its growing philosophical importance”.
The objective of this work is to remember Dr. Enrique Pedro Aznarez, the person who taught the first Optional Course on History of Medicine in 1943, standing out for over 30 years, as the true mentor of Humanistic Studies in Cordoba.
On December 3rd, 1969, he established the first History of Medicine Museum and finally in 1971 he created the Institute of History of Medicine and the Subject. He was the Professor of such subject from 1972 to 1982.
