Founding of the Society
Year	Authority / Notes
1829	According to a Wikipedia entry for Academia Nacional de Medicina: “The academy was founded during the Brazilian imperial period on 30 June 1829, under the name of Sociedade de Medicina do Rio de Janeiro. On 8 May 1835, it received a charter from the imperial regency to become the Imperial Academy of Medicine. After the proclamation of the First Brazilian Republic, its name was changed to its current name.” Since the First Brazilian Republic began in 1889, that is the date of the change to the current name. More information on the Imperial name is found on p.9 of a document on the Academy website at A Academia Nacional de Medicina, where we read that in 1835, an Imperial decree changed the name of the Sociedade de Medicina do Rio de Janeiro to the Academia Imperial de Medicina.
