Around the end of century XVIII the surgery of Nueva España was integrated to the renovation process that was given in Europe from principles of the illustrated century. As a result, the Royal College of Surgery was created; this institution was responsible for the education of surgeons of the kingdom, introducing and spreading the new and modern medical surgical theories. During the war of independence the College demonstrated its importance when they needed the graduates and students to serve the army. In the independent Mexico, the College of Surgery changed its name to the National School of Surgery and its work was the preparation of surgical personnel. Several of the physicians promoted diverse projects to modernize the health disciplines, which resulted in the creation of the Establishment of Medical Sciences in 1833 bringing about the integration of the medical career.
在18世纪末，新西班牙的外科手术融入了始于启蒙世纪初在欧洲进行的革新进程。结果，皇家外科医学院得以创立；该机构负责王国外科医生的教育，引入并传播新的现代医学外科理论。在独立战争期间，该学院在需要毕业生和学生为军队服务时彰显了其重要性。在独立后的墨西哥，外科医学院更名为国家外科学校，其工作是培养外科人员。几位医生推动了各种使卫生学科现代化的项目，这促成了1833年医学科学机构的创立，实现了医学职业的整合。
