Cremesp Conselho Regional De Medicina Do Estado De São Paulo

What Cremesp Conselho Regional De Medicina Do Estado De São Paulo does

CREMESP (Conselho Regional de Medicina do Estado de São Paulo) is a Brazilian federal autarchy established by Lei nº 3.268/57 and regulated by Decreto nº 44.045/58, operating under the supervision of the Conselho Federal de Medicina (CFM). It is the largest of Brazil's regional medical councils, exercising statutory authority over the licensing, ethical oversight, inspection, and discipline of approximately one-third of the nation's physicians — those practicing in São Paulo state. Primary functions include physician registration, certificate issuance, ethical proceedings and Defensores Dativos appointments, medical facility fiscalização (inspection), legal pareceres, and defense of the ato médico (medical act) against unqualified practice.

The organization's operational platform combines a centralized headquarters on Rua Frei Caneca in São Paulo with a network of approximately 30 regional delegations across the state, supplemented by a mobile service unit (Unidade Móvel) for remote areas. Digital service channels include the Portal de Serviços (physician registration, certificates, administrative procedures), the Sistema de Fiscalização (inspection and CODAME medical advertising compliance), integration with the CFM national electronic prescription system, an online voting platform for council elections, a physician search directory (Guia Médico), and a mobile application. Information products include the quarterly Revista Ser Médico, the peer-reviewed Journal of Medical Resident Research (JMRR), legislative and pareceres databases, and the mandatory Exame do Cremesp proficiency exam for medical graduates.

CREMESP is funded almost entirely through mandatory annual fees (anuidades) paid by registered physicians under Federal Law nº 12.514/2011 and CFM Resolution nº 1979, with exemptions for physicians over 70, supplemented by service fees for registration, certificates, and notary services. Member benefits — including a Clube de Benefícios and dedicated health plans via Positiva — extend the value proposition beyond pure regulation. Partnerships with CFM, APM, AMB, FENAM, ANS, and TST coordinate federal, state, association, labor, and supplementary-health stakeholders around physician rights, fee schedules, and healthcare policy advocacy.
