In 1566 Alonso de Villadiego was nominated by the Chilean Cabildo as "Adviser and Examiner in Surgery". By means of this edict, the Spanish Crown paralleled its classical health organization, inspired in rules coming from XIIIth century. The Hospital del Socorro was the focal point of these activities. It turned to be prosperous under the administration of "San Juan de Dios" monks (1617), who rebaptized the Hospital with their name. During the administration of the "Universidad de San Felipe" (1738-1839), the Protomedicato followed the standards imposed by the Cahir of Prima Medicina. Domingo Nevin, Frenchman, and José Antonio Ríos, Chilean, were the first and the last doctors in charge of this task. Ríos conducted the antivariolic campaign, supervised the "Midwifery Law" and controlled the medical and paramedical practice. Afterwards, the Institution plunged into a profound crisis to reflourish in 1833 when it was incorporated within the structure of the School of Medicine. Blest, Cox, Bustillos and Moran were the architects of its splendour. With the foundation of the Universidad de Chile in 1842, its Faculty of Medicine took over the Protomedicato functions. The Institution came to an end in 1892.
1566年，阿隆索·德·比利亚迭戈被智利市政会提名为“外科顾问兼考官”。通过这项法令，西班牙王室仿照其经典的卫生组织模式，该模式源自13世纪的规定。索科罗医院是这些活动的中心。在“圣胡安·德·迪奥斯”修士的管理下（1617年），医院变得繁荣起来，修士们用他们的名字为医院重新命名。在“圣菲利普大学”（1738 - 1839年）管理期间，初级医疗委员会遵循首席医师规定的标准。法国人多明戈·内文和智利人何塞·安东尼奥·里奥斯是负责这项任务的首任和末任医生。里奥斯开展了天花预防运动，监督了《助产士法》并管控医疗和准医疗实践。此后，该机构陷入了严重危机，直到1833年并入医学院结构时才再度繁荣。布莱斯特、考克斯、布斯蒂略斯和莫兰是其辉煌成就的缔造者。1842年智利大学成立后，其医学院接管了初级医疗委员会的职能。该机构于1892年结束。
