Focusing on the history and professionalization of health professions, this study examines significant boundary demarcation processes in Brazil, particularly the "Ato Médico" and "Mais Médicos" initiatives. It analyzes the various actors involved, their strategies, and the outcomes of these processes within the Brazilian health sector. The research suggests that the liberalization of professional services in Mercosur may encounter resistance from Brazilian medical professionals. Ultimately, it argues that these boundary demarcations are flawed and influenced by class pressures, advocating for a broader public engagement to achieve better outcomes.
