Résumé
Bien avant que la pharmacie ne soit reconnue légalement comme profession autonome et bien avant que les pharmaciens ne soient suffisamment nombreux et organisés pour faire des représentations en ce sens, des développements plus «souterrains» marquent l’apparition du groupe dans le champ de la santé. Cet article a pour objectif d’identifier et d’analyser certains des jalons qui conduisent à l’émergence de la pharmacie comme profession distincte de la médecine au Québec, de la restructuration du corps médical à l’essor des activités commerciales et industrielles dans le champ pharmaceutique. Ces phénomènes s’avèrent essentiels pour comprendre les particularités de l’orientation de la pharmacie au Québec, mais également pour pressentir l’importance qu’acquerra le médicament dans les pratiques de santé.
Abstract
Before pharmacy was legally recognized as an autonomous profession and before pharmacists were sufficiently numerous and organized to represent their own interests, some "underground" developments marked the appearance of this group in the field of health care. The purpose of this article is to identify and analyze some of the events which led to the emergence in Quebec of pharmacy as a distinct medical profession and the restructuring of the medical community with advances in commercial and industrial activity in the pharmaceutical field. These developments are important to understand the particular orientation of pharmacy in Quebec and also to demonstrate the importance of pharmaceuticals in the health profession.
