Abstract
The article analyzes how the process of the professionalization of physicians in São Paulo related to healthcare policy under the administration of São Paulo governor Adhemar de Barros (1947-1951) during a period of broad change in the realm of health known by São Paulo physicians as the "socialization of medicine." Medical professionalism confronted certain ambivalences under this populist administration, including doctors' struggle to achieve pay equal to that of state public attorneys; the establishment of a state health department; and some contradictory ties between the area of health under Adhemar and the professional ideology and organization of medicine in São Paulo. The article undertakes a more in-depth analysis of the ideological manifestations of important leaders in the state's medical community.

Tais distinções do campo médico paulista se situavam em um contexto muito particular, em função de a saúde pública estadual ter adquirido um espaço maior desde a Primeira República (Castro Santos, 2004; Hochman, 1998)

Summary
Recebido para publicação em abril de 2012. Aprovado para publicação em março de 2013. A socialização da medicina na era do adhemarismo. A análise observa as conexões entre o processo de profissionalização dos médicos paulistas e políticas de saúde do governo estadual de Adhemar de Barros em São Paulo (1947-1951), em meio a amplas mudanças na área de saúde denominadas pelos médicos paulistas “socialização da medicina”. Reconhecemos aspectos ambivalentes para o profissionalismo médico diante desse governo populista, como: a luta médica pela equiparação ante os advogados servidores públicos estaduais; a criação de uma secretaria de saúde estadual; e certos elos contraditórios entre a área de saúde adhemarista e a ideologia e a organização profissionais da medicina paulista. O artigo aprofunda a análise de manifestações ideológicas de importantes lideranças médicas paulistas.
