Abstract

This article reproduces a document from the Instituto de Medicina del Trabajo [Institute of Occupational Medicine], created on July 16, 1973 in the Faculty of Medicine of the Universidad de Buenos Aires. The document is a transcription of the interventions of Mario Testa, Alberto Ozores Soler and Ricardo Saiegh in the roundtable discussion "Health in factories" carried out on August 1 of the same year. The preceding lines, written by Mario Testa, puts into context that particular historical moment and the significance of the project, which sought to reconsider the relationship between the universities and research, between the teaching of medicine and the role of physicians in society, issues still relevant today. This document was recovered from the Mario Testa fund, in the Center for Documentation and Research Pensar en Salud (CEDOPS) of the Institute of Collective Health in the Universidad Nacional de Lanús.
