[Reflections about the historical development of biomedical sciences in Chile and the role of Revista Médica de Chile: an homage on 130-years old].

When Revista Médica de Chile turns to be 130 years old, the author reflects about the difficulties that scientific and technological creativity faces in Chile, considering that there was a 70 years gap between its historical origin in Chile compared to developed countries. The scientific progress erases the boundaries between Biomedicine and science and technology. This progress has resulted in an improvement in the quality of scientific publications in Revista Medica de Chile. The editorial work has also contributed to this improvement. Revista Medica de Chile has obtained international recognition and stands in a good position as a medical journal in Latin America and Chile.

[Informatics in the School of Medicine of the University of Chile. I. Origin and evolution of biomedical computing in Chile].

In the sixties and seventies, the School of Medicine of the University of Chile was the first Chilean institution to incorporate computers into academic endeavors through its own Computer Center. Later, professors were marginated from policy making, which became oriented to administrative goals, but they compensated that situation with the easy access to personal computers brought about by present technology. In 1986, when School authorities were again elected by the faculty staff, professors were able to participate again in a committee designing projects in this area. Current development at the School of Medicine include a proliferation of personal computers, the implementation of a computer network with access to medical data bases, and a growing number of applications in the fields of research and teaching. In the near future, due to the accessibility of telecommunications and computers, these advancements should have an impact on the whole biomedical community, a situation that would restore, after many years, the traditional role of the University of Chile in the life of the country.

[Licensure in the practice of the medical profession in Chile: experience of the Re-valuation Committee of the Medical School of the University of Chile period 1984-1999].

We report the experience of the re-valuation committee of the University of Chile Medical School, in the period 1984-1999. This experience is relevant to the licensing processes in Latin America. We report the political, legal and regulatory backup and the academic criteria used to establish different evaluation methodologies. We also communicate the main results obtained. Factors such as the country and University conferring a title, nationality and length of service of the applicant, influence in the percentage of licensure examination approval. Some modifications to the licensure process should be incorporated but, the overall results obtained, fully justify the existence of this licensure committee.
