This contribution examines the tensions between the University of Coimbra and the chief physician (físico-mor) over the organization and control of health care in Early Modern Portugal. The battle between empirical and academic medical training was common in Europe at that time, but it was exacerbated in Portugal by two royal decisions that were extremely damaging to the university. The first gave the chief physician responsibility for recognizing the degrees of physicians trained abroad; the second increased the length of the medical course in Coimbra, thereby dashing any chance that the Faculty of Medicine could compete with its European counterparts. The resulting war that erupted between these two institutions, both of them created and controlled by the Crown, was not so much between champions of scholarly versus popular medicine as between authorities that validated candidates’ competence to practice medicine.
