Abstract: 
This study aimed to submit an analytical and critical study about Al-Andalus physicians' poets in the sixth Hijri century. The study spotted the light on eleven physicians (doctors), who had, beside their medical practice as physicians, another side; that was poem, in which their poems had covered twelve different and diverse poetry's fields. The research involved an introduction, preface, and two main chapters, in addition to a conclusion and a references' list. In the introduction section, I offered a brief summary about the research methodology, previous studies, and the reasons behind my choice and preference of this interesting topic. This part (the introduction section) had, also, pointed out the main challenges and difficulties that faced me during carrying out the research, in the stage of collecting data and clarifying poems. The second part of the research, the preface, was an informative section that endeavored to prepare the reader for well-recognition of the political and social conditions, as well as, prose and art life in Al-Anduls during the sixth Hijri century, including the spread of medical sciences in this era.
