Previous issue date: 2013-10-18 / By the end of the XIX century and during the first decades of the XX century, a significant number of Italian doctors have settled in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, in Southern Brazil. By that time, the state law facilitated the exercise of the medical profession in the region. Their presence was characterized by a high geographic mobility, which included several South American countries and the establishment of strong bonds of social networking along the migratory process. In this study, the author evaluated the conditions that caused this flow of foreign doctors to the region, how they were integrated in society and their contribution to development of the region. The way medical profession was structured in both Brazil and Italy is discussed. Legal issues that were related to medical practice, their registration in public institutions and the question of medical diploma revalidation in the State of Rio Grande do Sul are discussed. Italian doctors introduced a series of innovations into medical practice, during a period in which the profession was still gaining formal recognition. They have built hospitals, health care units, maternities and general infirmaries, being instrumental in the development of various specialities. Italian doctors became recognized in several fields, such as surgery, obstetrics, ophthalmology and radiology. They were also experts in the management of very prevalent and challenging diseases at that time, like syphilis and tuberculosis. They also conquered high positions in society, being representatives of their ethnic group in political and social events. During the first two decades of the XX century, Italian doctors comprised about 10% of the total population of doctors in the city of Porto Alegre, the capital of the State of Rio Grande do Sul. / No final do s?culo XIX e nas d?cadas iniciais do s?culo XX, um contingente de m?dicos italianos radicou-se no Rio Grande do Sul, amparados pelas facilidades que a legisla??o estadual propiciou para o seu exerc?cio profissional. Sua vinda para a Am?rica do Sul foi caracterizada por uma mobilidade que incluiu v?rios pa?ses deste continente, e pela constitui??o de redes sociais de acolhimento, inclu?das as redes e as cadeias imigrat?rias. Nesta tese, a autora tem por objetivo analisar os fatores que ocasionaram a imigra??o deste grupo de profissionais liberais, a maneira como se integraram na nova sociedade e os aportes que trouxeram para o Estado. S?o destacadas as caracter?sticas da forma??o m?dica na It?lia e no Brasil. S?o discutidas as legisla??es pertinentes ao exerc?cio profissional, os registros nas institui??es p?blicas e a quest?o da revalida??o do diploma de m?dicos estrangeiros. Os m?dicos italianos trouxeram uma s?rie de inova??es que ajudaram a modificar a Medicina deste Estado, a qual passava por um momento de reconhecimento e de consolida??o de seu campo. Constru?ram hospitais, casas de sa?de, maternidades e enfermarias. Foram introdutores de especialidades como a oftalmologia. Destacaram-se no campo cir?rgico, na obstetr?cia e na radiologia, bem como no tratamento de tuberculose e s?filis. Atuaram como representantes de seu grupo ?tnico em v?rias oportunidades. Sua presen?a em Porto Alegre, capital do Estado, alcan?ou a cifra de 10% do total de m?dicos nas primeiras duas d?cadas do s?culo passado.
