It is a case study, to investigate the dynamics of the curricular change process of a medical course from the teachers' perspective, focusing on the analysis of critical incidents and linguistic repertoires obtained in individual interviews. The data were analyzed and discussed from the College’s Internal context during the period of curricular change; the External Context presenting the relation of the courses with the health and education networks; the Projects developed by the professors to support the changes and the Resistances / Clashes resulting from them. The analysis highlights the importance of teacher participation in the classroom and in all phases of curriculum development, the review and innovation process, and the use of permanent education, participatory planning, teacher training and participation, formal and informal networks of relationships, team development and conflict management.

Keywords : Curriculum planning; Curricular change; Teacher training; Medical education; Teaching in health sciences.
