The training of medical specialists in Brazil is through the completion of a medical residency program or by conducting a test and obtaining a specialist degree. They are parallel paths and sometimes overlap. In addition, the institutions responsible for these respective specialists training models, which are the National Medical Residency Commission and the Brazilian Medical Association, do not have a unified database. Due to these factors, it has always been difficult to define with any precision the number of family and community doctors in the country. With a recent change in the information system of the National Medical Residency Commission (SIS-CNRM), it was possible to obtain information about certificates of completion of medical residency prior to the creation of the system. Based on these SIS-CNRM data, it was possible to obtain the current number of family and community doctors in the country. The survey of this number, unprecedented for the Brazilian Society of Family and Community Medicine, is an essential element to plan the growth and future of the specialty in the country.
