[MEDICINE: THE MAIN ENGINE OF THE GENERATION OF 1914]

This text shows how the so-called generation of 1914 was mostly made of people from the scientific world, in the broadest sense of the term--from Physics and other experimental sciences to Biology, Medicine, the Humanities, Law and the Social Sciences. In the first third of the 20th century, this generation radically transformed the panorama of scientific research in Spain. In this process, physicians played an essential role. Spanish Medicine did not only become a productive experimental field, it also made of medical care a subject of national concern.
