ABSTRACT

Ernesto “El Ché” Guevara “ symbol of the Cuban Revolution and the communist and socialist thought of the XX century, is very well known for his political and guerrilla activities, but very little is known of his facet as a physician. Motivated by the curiosity of getting to know this side of the life and works of Ernesto Guevara, related with our profession, we researched different printed and electronic documents, on his performance as a physician. For this, a summary of these aspects of his life were done in three stages: Ernesto, The Student: where we mention his life as a medical student; Ernesto, The Physician: A summary of his beginnings as a physician and a few of his accomplishments in the area of scientific research, some of them in Mexico; and finally; El Che, Revolutionary Physician: Ernesto Guevara has converted himself in the Commandant “Che” Guevara, where some of his campaign memories are narrated that make references to doctors and some of his medical-social thoughts, which are an important part of his legacy to Cuba.
