title: [Medical teaching under debate: São Paulo, 1890 through 1930].
abstract: The aim of this article is to evaluate the idealizations of medical education institutions and their implementation between 1890 and 1930. The case of the state of São Paulo is particular. Firstly, for the absence of a medical school until the beginning of the 20th century. Besides, for the gap between the law, of 1891, which forsaw the installation of such a school, and the effective creation of an official faculty in the state, in 1913. Our point of view considers that this process is a consequence of an attempt of the local medical field informization. For one hand, it was searched by trying to enhance the medical speech when compared with others health professional groups speeches, mainly the pharmaceutical one. For other hand, by seeking to give the local medical knowledge production process a laboratorial profile, which was considered both in a therapeutic and in an experimental point of view. Our conclusion is that the establishment of a medical faculty in São Paulo was made possible only after a relative consensus about these issues, allowing the relationship between medical education and experimental medicine.
