Abstract

The award was handed over by the vice rector of FMUSP, José Otávio Costa Auler Junior, by the idealization of the I University Medical Congress (COMU). The Congress was conceived by the Professor after his participation in academic conferences in other educational institutions during his medical graduation in the FMUSP. After two years of preparation, organization and diligent work, the professor jointly with the Department of Science of CAOC (Centro Acadêmico Oswaldo Cruz), today known as the Scientific Department of the School of Medicine of the USP, managed to realize the I COMU FMUSP, having as academic president its own founder. Since then, COMU aims to promote scientific, cultural and social congregation of medical professionals and students.
