Abstract

The ideas of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz and the program implementation of the Cuban Revolution placed the universalization of education as central principles of educational policy and within it, that of medical sciences with wide access throughout the country. The teaching of Basic Biomedical Sciences in the Villa Clara province began in the 1973-1974 academic year with the opening of the first year at the Faculty of Medicine. As 2024 marks the fiftieth anniversary of this social and teaching event in the province, authors intend to socialize some historical elements about the beginning of medical teaching in that province, emphasizing on Histology subject, from 1974 to 1982, as well as give recognition to all those who contributed to the teaching beginning and development of Basic Biomedical Sciences in the Cuban central region.
