Resumo: The Fisicatura-mor (1808-1828) was the government body responsible for regulating the healing arts and licensing practitioners in early nineteenth-century Brazil. An analysis of its case files sheds light on the medical practice and profiles of physicians and surgeons in Rio de Janeiro and other cities where the Fisicatura-mor maintained a presence. Based primarily on these records, the article explores such matters as relations between surgeons authorized to practice internal medicine and physicians, the knowledge required to obtain a license, appointments to offices within the Fisicatura-mor, practitioners’ geographic mobility, and how they charged and collected for services rendered.

Aprofunda-se, ainda, a análise dos processos da Fisicatura-mor (1808-1828) a partir de casos em que é possível identificar partes de trajetórias de médicos e cirurgiões. Este órgão era responsável por regulamentar e fiscalizar todos os assuntos relacionados aos ofícios de cura e por conceder autorização àqueles que praticavam artes de curar. Por meio, sobretudo, dessa documentação, são abordadas questões como a relação entre médicos e cirurgiões que curavam demedicina prática, o conhecimento exigido para serem autorizados a exercer suas atividades, a nomeação desses indivíduos para cargos da própria Fisicatura-mor, sua mobilidade geográfica, a cobrança e o pagamento por seus serviços.Universidade Federal de São Paulo2019-09-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/alm/article/view/974310.1590/2236-4633Almanack; No. 22 (2019); 120-152Almanack; Núm. 22 (2019); 120-152Almanack; n. 22 (2019); 120-1522236-4633reponame:Almanack (Guarulhos)instname:Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)instacron:UNIFESPenghttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/alm/article/view/9743/7111Copyright (c) 2019 Tania Salgado Pimentainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPimenta, Tania Salgado2021-09-10T01:51:32Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/9743Revistahttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/almPUBhttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/alm/oaialmanack@unifesp.br||andremachados@yahoo.com.br2236-46332236-4633opendoar:2021-09-10T01:51:32Almanack (Guarulhos) - Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)false
