| Sumario: | ntroduction. This study conducts a scientometric and historiographic review of doctoral theses onmedical education defended at French universities throughout the 19th century in search of theantecedents of this multidisciplinary field. Method. Quantitative (scientometric) review study withintentional sampling. Twenty-eight bibliographic records of these theses were retrieved ad hocfromthe French databases SUDOC (Système Universitaire de DOCumentation) and bnf (Bibliothèque Nationalede France). Results. Scientometric patterns are provided for: longitudinal production as a 6th-orderpolynomial function; institutional productivity with five French universities, of which Paris is themost productive; and production by gender with three theses defended by women (11% of the total).The diversity of thematic areas inferred confirms the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary nature ofmedical education since its origins, which can be dichotomized into medical and non-medicaldisciplines. The textual analysis reveals the plurality of terms inferred from the titles to configure afinal network analysis consisting of a central cluster of 25 theses and three peripheral ones. Discussion. It can be said that French doctoral thesis production during the 19th century wasabundant, varied, and showed clear scientometric patterns, which denotes the relevance of Frenchmedical education as the historical research vanguard of this multidisciplinary field. |
