Abstract: Aim: To identify the most important academic and professional changes experienced by the Practicante in Medicine and Surgery profession during Miguel Primo de Rivera’s dictatorship. Methodology: Historical research was conducted, based on the documentary analysis of archive, periodical and bibliographic sources. Results: Professional intrusion was prosecuted through guidelines; tenure positions were assigned; the National Health School was created with the aim of training healthcare personnel; academic improvements were achieved, including the essential requirement of being a secondary school graduate prior to registering as a Practicante student; a maximum working day of 8 hours was implemented; joint practicante committees were created; compulsory professional registration was approved. Conclusion: The Practicante in Medicine and Surgery profession demonstrated its sympathy for the new political regime, which resulted in the granting and recognition of many of their (some very old) claims.
