The medical course in analysis restructured its curriculum in 2006 and started to use active teaching methods. Objective: to evaluate the teachers' perception of the curriculum in practice. Methods: a semi-structured questionnaire was sent to all professors. Results: Teachers say they are motivated to work and satisfied with the course; they consider the course and the graduated professional to be good; positively evaluate the organization of students in small groups and insertion in activities in primary care since the beginning of the course. The physical facilities and equipment are adequate for 50.9% and 40.1% of the teachers. The pedagogical model, teachers and students’ motivation were considered facilitators of curriculum development. The difficulty in students’ assessment and the lack of continuous training of teachers were factors that hinder the progress of the curriculum.

Keywords : curriculum; medical education; curricular change.
