ABSTRACT
The object of this paper is the debate among the Brazilian medical elite during the National Practitioners' Congress (Congresso Nacional dos Práticos - 1922). The article begins by analyzing a specific moment in the medical profession's history in early 20th-century Brazil, specifically Rio de Janeiro's 1922 National Practitioners' Congress. The author presents three profiles of medical practice observed in that context generalists, specialists, and hygienists. He further analyzes their characteristics, similarities, and differences, as well as the strategies for professional affirmation adopted by physicians with these profiles. The article addresses the following issues What were the relationships between the specialization process, forms of remuneration, and the construction of new professional identities? What identities did medical doctors create for themselves? What were the rivalries between these different professional identities? How did they portray outside competitors, such as the so-called traditional healers? Finally, the author presents several methodological suggestions that may contribute to historical research on the medical profession.
