Abstract
Through the historical study of the corporate and technological changes experienced by doctors in São Paulo in the 1930s, we intend to identify how changes in the fields of equipment and knowledge came from the emergence of specialties, which led to corporate changes and rearrangements in the face of the dilemmas introduced by the Getúlio Vargas government and its policy of centralizing power. Connections are pointed out of a symbolic and representative order, backed by doctors considered 'old-school' and those that represented the 'new' times in medicine, evidencing the clashes between these currents vis-à-vis the specialization movement and particular landmarks in the history of São Paulo.
Highlights
In the case of the so-called Paulista medicine (Paulista is a Brazilian adjective used to qualify something as related to the State of São Paulo – Translator’s note), there has been a consistent output of historical studies directed to the scientific modifications experienced by its institutions in the first decades of republicanism and the role of its articulators as ‘men of science’
In the case of the history of medicine and public health, various works have been able to approach and reiterate understanding of the organization of medical institutions, the history of diseases and the technologies employed in health policies and so-called popular medicine
This is due to the fact that, at the political level, the period was marked by the weakening of state medical-sanitary institutions vis-à-vis the new government, a prime example being the dismantling of the state sanitary project, fragmented in the 1940s into various sections without any articulation or rationality of expenditures (Campos, 2006, p.69)
Summary
