FM-AHPM-XV Congresso Internacional de Medicina (1906)

XV Congresso Internacional de Medicina

O XV Congresso Internacional de Medicina, realizado em Lisboa entre 19 e 26 de Abril de 1906, foi um marco importante na evolução da Medicina Portuguesa do Século XX. Com ele foram atraídos a Lisboa os maiores expoentes da Medicina mundial, incluindo alguns vencedores do Prémio Nobel. Portugal estava afastado das rotas dos progressos da Medicina que então desabrochava e admite-se que, deste contacto com congressistas estrangeiros, se tenha iniciado o processo que levou ao aparecimento da chamada Geração de 1911 que surgiria na recém-criada Faculdade de Medicina de Lisboa, ponto alto da Medicina portuguesa da primeira metade do Século XX.

XV International Congress of Medicine

The XV International Congress of Medicine, held in Lisbon between the 19th and 26th of April 1906, was an important milestone in the evolution of Portuguese Medicine in the 20th century. During the event, the greatest exponents of medicine were attracted to Lisbon, including some Nobel Prize winners. Portugal was far from the paths of progress in Medicine that were then flourishing and it is considered that, from this contact with foreign congressmen, the process that led to the emergence of the so-called Generation of 1911 would emerge in the newly created Faculty of Medicine of Lisbon. This was perhaps the high point of Portuguese Medicine in the first half of the 20th century.
