Medical collection universities The aim of this work is show different medicine collections or university museums in Spanish university and their influence in academic community. Medicine is a science that needs different techniques and tools for development of their work. The use of new technologies and the constant advance of them mean that some of these objects are left out of the new needs that society requires. Even, once these objects become obsolete or useless, they are preserved. They get creating a heritage value in medicine´s history. To conserve this type of pieces we are supported by a double information: firstly, a historical character by the chronology of its use, resolving in each period, some needs in medicine and on the other hand it allows us to know the evolution that the technology in medicine over the years. University area, medicine´s pieces, like the rest of pieces Heritage´s University, has played a fundamental role in the didactic course for the training of future specialists in medicine and in their knowledge subjects. In this way they become didactic material for the formation of students, knowing case studies, work tools and other materials that have contributed to the history of medicine.
