ABREU JUNIOR, José Maria de Castro. The School of Medicine and Surgery of Pará, Brazil: from establishment to federalization, 1919-1950. Rev Pan-Amaz Saude [online]. 2010, vol.1, n.4, pp.11-16. ISSN 2176-6215.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/S2176-62232010000400002.

This study aims to chronologically present circumstances that took place from the establishment of the School of Medicine of Pará, Brazil, in 1919 to its federalization in 1950. Some historical facts are highlighted, contextualized, and compared to similar institutions and personalities that played a relevant role in these events, which have been obscured over time. Our intention is to relive the period through words when the School of Medicine of Pará was an isolated medical school in the extreme north of the country. It was the only one of its kind in the region that faced sanitary challenges, which are still far from being overcome today.
