The early training of Antônio Luis Cavalcanti de Albuquerque de Barros Barreto: an itinerary to the international health

Abstract The article analyzes the education and training of the physician Antônio Luis Cavalcanti de Albuquerque de Barros Barreto, who studied at both the Rio de Janeiro Faculty of Medicine and Oswaldo Cruz Institute and who promoted the Rockefeller Foundation’s project in Brazil. An examination of a will, oral accounts, Barros Barreto’s medical thesis, and newspaper reports reveals characteristics of the class of 1913 at the Oswaldo Cruz Institute Specialization Program and shows how these students engaged in the foundation’s international health initiatives. The text demonstrates how the idea of partnering with the foundation fueled controversies, impelled negotiations, and led to concessions in states where the foundation had yet to establish its presence, as in Pernambuco.

摘要 本文探析了医师安东尼奥·路易斯·卡尔瓦坎蒂·德·阿尔伯克基·德·巴罗斯·巴雷托的教育与培训经历，他曾先后就读于里约热内卢医学院与奥斯瓦尔多·克鲁斯研究所（Oswaldo Cruz Institute），并推动了洛克菲勒基金会（Rockefeller Foundation）在巴西的相关项目。本文通过检视遗嘱、口述史料、巴罗斯·巴雷托的医学学位论文及报纸报道，梳理出奥斯瓦尔多·克鲁斯研究所1913届专科进修班学员的群体特征，并展现了这批学员如何参与该基金会的国际卫生行动。本文还阐明了与该基金会开展合作的理念如何引发争议、推动谈判进程，并在该基金会尚未设立办事机构的巴西各州（如伯南布哥州）促成了相关让步。
