The article supposes a historiographic analysis from the gender perspective of the official training programs of the Health Technical Assistants (ATS) during the Spanish Franco period. After an analysis of primary, normative and referential sources, it is verified that the patriarchal pedagogical orientation of the nurse training during This period established a clear differentiation in the structure of didactic content between men and women. In this line, female ATS were within a normative framework of subordination to the male biomedical hegemonic model, a reality that is verified through inequalities such as the fact that female ATS received home lessons while notions of medical-legal autopsy, because their studies had to be done in an internship regime, unlike the male ATS that were carried out in an open regime, and because their collaboration as instructors in training will always take place subject to doctors (men).
