In 1981, the first medical anthropology course in Spain was offered here as part of the undergraduate degree program in anthropology; in 1984, a medical anthropology course was offered here for the first time in a Spanish university as part of the degree program in nursing; and in 1986, medical anthropology became part of a Ph.D. program here for the first time in a Spanish university. A required course in medical anthropology has been part of the URV undergraduate program in social anthropology since 1993, and will remain so until this program is phased out in 2016.

In 1982, the first medical anthropology symposium in Spain (Primeres Jornades d’Antropologia de la Medicina) was held in Tarragona. It was an international event and marked the formal founding of the specialty in this country. Between 1988 and 1994, medical anthropologists in Tarragona organized an interdepartmental Ph.D. program in social sciences and health (Ciències Socials i Salut) jointly with the University of Barcelona’s Department of Sociology.
