The objective of this research was to analyze the scope of practice of doctors who work in the Family Health Strategy in the Brazilian city of Fortaleza, state of Ceará, and its relations with Family and Community Medicine education and title. A transversal study was conducted from April to November 2018 applying a semistructured form to 263 doctors with 38 attributions among medical actions, activities, and procedures. The scopes had a greater coverage among doctors with overseas education and specific Family and Community Medicine education. The double qualification of medical residency and title was the factor with the greatest impact. Doctors declared knowing how to work with a higher number of activities, actions, and procedures than the one they indeed knew how to do.
