Documentary analysis of the pedagogical project of a Medicine course and teaching in Primary Care. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2019, vol.23, suppl.1, e170896.  Epub 18-Abr-2019. ISSN 1414-3283.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.170896.

The 2014 National Curriculum Guidelines (DCN) for the medicine course provide for an education that focuses on primary care. The School of Medicine of Universidade Federal de Goiás, adapting itself to the new DCN, has developed a new Pedagogical Course Project (PCP). The objective of this study was to examine, through documentary analysis, the new PCP in the perspective of the 2014 DCN, based on the document “Guidelines for Primary Care Teaching in Undergraduate Medicine Courses”. Although the PCP covers most of the aspects related to primary care teaching, there is no reference to the teaching of the person-centered clinical method, popular health education, respect for patient autonomy, and shared decision-making. We hope, therefore, to subsidize changes in the current PCP and to stimulate other universities to approach these issues.

Key words: Primary care; Curriculum; Family and community medicine; Education.
