Editorial
description The Faculty of Medical Sciences of the Central University of Ecuador commemorates 332 years of history, reaffirming its humanistic, scientific, and social mission. Founded in 1693, during a time when access to knowledge was limited, it was a pioneer in formal medical education. From its beginnings, it has evolved alongside the country's social and political changes, training generations of professionals committed to health as a fundamental right. Figures like Eugenio Espejo promoted a critical and compassionate view of medicine. During the 19th and 20th centuries, the Faculty embraced scientific advancements, promoted specialties, research, and clinical internships, and faced epidemics and social transformations. In the 21st century, it adapted its programs to a comprehensive health approach, emphasizing human rights and equity. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it once again demonstrated its deep commitment to life. Today, it is more than an academic institution—it is a symbol of hope, knowledge, and social justice for the Ecuadorian people and the world. Long live the Faculty!

Long live the Faculty!La Facultad de Ciencias Médicas de la Universidad Central del Ecuador conmemora 332 años de historia, reafirmando su misión humanista, científica y social. Fundada en 1693, en una época de acceso restringido al conocimiento, fue pionera en la enseñanza médica formal. Desde sus inicios, ha evolucionado junto a los cambios sociales y políticos del país, formando generaciones de profesionales comprometidos con la salud como derecho. Figuras como Eugenio Espejo impulsaron una visión crítica y solidaria de la medicina. Durante el siglo XIX y XX, la Facultad incorporó avances científicos, promovió especialidades, investigación e internados, enfrentando epidemias y transformaciones sociales. En el siglo XXI, adaptó sus programas al enfoque de salud integral, derechos humanos y equidad. Durante la pandemia, demostró nuevamente su compromiso con la vida. Hoy, más que una institución académica, es un símbolo de esperanza, conocimiento y justicia social para el pueblo ecuatoriano y el mundo. ¡Larga vida a la Facultad!Quito: Universidad Central del Ecuador2025-05-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionEditorialapplication/pdfhttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/CIENCIAS_MEDICAS/article/view/841310.29166/rfcmq.v50i2.8413Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas (Quito); Vol. 50 No. 2 (2025): Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas (Quito)Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas (Quito); Vol. 50 Núm. 2 (2025): Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas (Quito)2737-61412588-069110.29166/rfcmq.v50i2reponame:Revista Ciencias Médicasinstname:Universidad Central del Ecuadorinstacron:UCEspahttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/CIENCIAS_MEDICAS/article/view/8413/10371Derechos de autor 2025 Marco Guerrero Fhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2025-06-17T13:02:02Zoai:revistadigital.uce.edu.ec:article/8413Portal de revistashttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttps://uce.edu.ec/**Ecuador*2737-61412588-0691opendoar:*2025-06-17T13:02:02Revista Ciencias Médicas - Universidad Central del Ecuadorfalse
