The present assay focuses on the role of the master Carlos Lanfranco La Hoz on building the cultural imaginary of our Faculty. We address his outstanding performance within the various events of our institutional history. We state that Lanfranco is the expression of a new medical culture within the San Fernando Faculty of Medicine, being himself a mandatory reference for a community in reconstruction and through the search of an identity. We address the values which led him, such as tolerance, academic excellence, humanistic vocation, as well as teaching with the aim of building a universitary community. We propose that while the Faculty becomes a community (Universitas) able to accomplish Lanfranco’s goals, we must consider him the most important reference of the second half of the century, in order to reach a new medical culture, based upon the best of our scientific and universitary...

This study analizes Daniel Alcides Carrion role as a cultural hero and central element of Peruvian medical tradition.

A cultural imaginary analysis of Peruvian Medical School development (1886-1956) is done, as during this period San Fernando produced the countrys largest and best quality medical knowledge. We conclude that confluence of local medical imaginary e...
