ABSTRACT
Este artigo aborda a realizaçäo dos Congressos Médicos Latino-Americanos e das Exposições Internacionais de Higiene nas primeiras décadas do século XX como estratégia de legitimaçäo e persuasäo do conhecimento médico produzido perante a comunidade especializada e as autoridades públicas, suportes estes fundamentais para sua apresentaçäo à sociedade em geral como portadores do saber oficial da arte de medicar. Tais eventos fizeram parte de um movimento mais amplo de internacionalizaçäo e organizaçäo do campo profissional da medicina na América Latina. O artigo sugere ainda que as atividades desenvolvidas durante esses eventos tiveram papel central na difusäo de idéias e na troca de experiências entre os países latino-americanos, caracterizando uma rede de intercâmbios científicos no continente.(AU)This article discusses the Latin American Medical Congresses and International Exhibitions on Hygiene held in the first few decades of the 20th century as a strategy for underpinning and influencing medical knowledge within the specialized community itself and for public authorities, which were fundamental for presenting to society at large as they were seen as the vehicles of official know-how on the art of medicating. These events made up part of a broader movement to internationalize and coordinate the professional field of medicine in Latin America. The article further suggests that the activities that took place during these events played a key role in the propagation of ideas and exchange of experience between Latin American nations, forming a network of scientific exchange in the continent.(AU)
