Resumen
[ES]Este artículo tiene la intención de presentar un recorrido histórico de la antropología médica, teniendo en cuenta las diversas denominaciones que gravitan en torno a esta designación. Para ello se cruzarán dos dimensiones, tiempo y espacio. Com respecto al tiempo, por una parte, hablará de lo tiempo en que la antropología médica carecía de una autonomía claramente definida y, por otro, se describirá el período en que la antropología médica reclamó un campo específico de estudio. Con respecto al espacio, por una parte, se hará referencia a los enfoques de la antropología médica que circunscribe su objeto de estudio a las prácticas de la enfermedad y la curación culturalmente distante, esencialmente impulsado por la exclusión de la biomedicina como un objeto de estudio y por otra, los enfoques de la antropología médica que incluyen la biomedicina serán mencionados. Por último, se sugiere una dirección diferente con otro nombre para este campo del conocimiento antropológico: la antropología de la salud.

With respect to time, on the one hand, it will show a time when medical anthropology lacked a clearly defined autonomy and, on the other, will be described the period in which medical anthropology has claimed a specific field of study. With regard to space, by one hand a reference will be made to the approaches of medical anthropology that has circumscribed their object of study to disease and healing practices that were culturally distant, essentially driven by the exclusion of biomedicine as an object of study. By the other hand, the approaches of medical anthropology that include biomedicine will be pointed out. Finally, we suggest a different address with another name for this field of anthropological knowledge: anthropology of health.
