O artigo analisa quais atores participaram e como atuaram na inserção na agenda governamental da questão das insuficiências na oferta e formação de médicos para o SUS e da adoção do Programa Mais Médicos (PMM) como solução. A análise documental, bibliográfica e a realização das entrevistas semiestruturadas com informantes-chave foram trabalhadas na perspectiva metodológica do process tracing. Foram usados recursos teóricos dos estudos sobre o processo político e das Teorias da Mudança Institucional Gradual e dos Múltiplos Fluxos. Destaca-se como resultados a identificação de fatores relacionados à entrada da questão na agenda, como o agravamento da questão, aumento de sua percepção pública e mudança de governo. Constatou-se que a ação da Presidenta e de empreendedores da política foi decisiva para o processo de formulação do PMM com base em legados históricos de políticas anteriores. Contesta-se a explicação de uma vertente da literatura que considera que o PMM foi uma solução construída às pressas, para enfrentar um problema antigo, em resposta às “Jornadas de Junho”. Observou-se que a posse dos novos prefeitos em 2013 e o calendário eleitoral também foram fatores importantes para a ação estratégica dos atores que lideraram a formulação do Programa com forte oposição das entidades médicas.
