In Paris, the medical press developed aft er 1754. Newspaper editors, at the head of a network of contributing doctors and readers, the 'Docteurs Régents', physicians holding the highest rank awarded by the Faculty of Paris, deployed writing strategies where the circulation and publication of knowledge and know-how combined with an attempt at self-promotion. A commercial enterprise, the medical press participates in the formation of the professional identity of doctors and in medicalization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

De 1638 à 1648, tout a opposé les deux médecins parisiens Théophraste Renaudot (1586-1653) et Guy Patin (1601-1672) : empirisme contre dogmatisme, paracelsisme contre galénisme, arrivisme politique contre mépris de la cour royale, Université de Montpellier contre Faculté de médecine de Paris… Sans doute attisé par leur ancienne camaraderie, leur duel a produit un foisonnement de libelles, auxquels s’ajoutèrent procès et pieds de nez dans un déchaînement réciproque de haine et de dédain. En 1643, après la mort de Richelieu et de Louis XIII, Patin pouvait impunément injurier son ennemi désarmé ; en disgrâce à la cour, Renaudot dut s’avouer vaincu. À la fin du XIXe siècle s’engagea une joute posthume entre les deux ennemis : Patin pour ses Lettres caustiques (rééditées en 1846) et Renaudot pour son invention du journalisme en France (La Gazette créée en 1631). L’opinion plaça le journaliste sur un piédestal et le fit jouir d’une immense célébrité en attachant son nom à celui d’un prix littéraire (1926).

Thirteen Canadians obtained a doctoral degree from the Faculty of Medicine of Paris between 1822 and 1905. Their studies in France played a decisive role in some of the major trends of 19 th -century Canadian history: the formation of a French-Canadian professional bourgeoisie, the formalization of diplomatic ties between Canada and France, the development of bacteriology in America, and the rise of French-Canadian nationalism at the turn of the 20 th century. This article traces the careers of these medical doctors by using unpublished sources, mainly their student files and doctoral theses, located through the Pierre Moulinier database and made available by the Bibliothèque Interuniversitaire de Santé of the Université Paris-Descartes. By examining these doctors' travels to Paris, it shows the impact on the Canadian medical profession of the relationship between a former North American colony and its former imperial capital.
