Abstract
Using the concept of medical profession critically, Jethro Hernández Berrones examines healing occupations in Mexico, from the Aztec Empire, through New Spain, independent Mexico, the postrevolutionary nation, and the neoliberal period. the author uses the sociological categories of medical knowledge, training, certification, entitlement, social hierarchies, and state regulation to describe seven centuries of change and syncretism. Additionally, this study uses the concept of medical pluralism to balance teleological narratives usually present in professional histories. It contrasts Western doctors with precolonial ritual specialists, the colonial Protomedicato and university with their limited reach, the sanitary boards and medical schools in independent Mexico with the persistence of domestic medicine and the rise of empirics, twentieth-century public health programs with the persistence of indigenous and unorthodox medicines, and the continued support of academic medicine with the recognition of medical pluralism.
