The barber-surgeons' guild in Bergen was founded on 17 January 1597. For nearly 250 years this was the only "medical association" in Norway. The guild disappeared with the death of its latest master, Christian Wilhelm Wisbech (1740-1822). However, only nine years later his son, Christian Wisbech (1801-69), founded the Medical Association in Bergen. The barber-surgeons were craftsmen who got their education by apprenticeship. They were the medical practitioners of their times. Their empirical knowledge was more in touch with real life than was the medicine taught by the professors. This paper describes the barber-surgeons' education and work, including their conflicts with other craftsmen and doctors. During the 18th century the barber-surgeons' education was improved, and eventually was given full academic status.
卑尔根的外科理发师行会成立于1597年1月17日。在近250年的时间里，这是挪威唯一的“医学协会”。随着其最后一任会长克里斯蒂安·威廉·维斯贝克（1740 - 1822）的去世，该行会消失了。然而，仅仅九年后，他的儿子克里斯蒂安·维斯贝克（1801 - 1869）在卑尔根成立了医学协会。外科理发师是通过学徒制接受教育的工匠。他们是那个时代的行医者。他们的经验知识比教授们讲授的医学更贴近现实生活。本文描述了外科理发师的教育和工作，包括他们与其他工匠和医生的冲突。在18世纪，外科理发师的教育得到了改进，并最终获得了完全的学术地位。
