Abstract

SOBRAL, Dejano T.. Three cases of curricular innovation in the recent perspective (1964-1988) of the Brazilian Medical Education: an Appraisal of a retrospect based on the review of documents. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2014, vol.38, n.4, pp.493-501. ISSN 1981-5271.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S0100-55022014000400011.

Along a decade (1966-1975), three medical schools - belonging to the University of Brasilia (UnB), University of São Paulo (USP) and University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) - established new curricula, aiming at the education of physicians with a broader capacity to deal with the health needs of the community. The three schools differed between them in their amount of resources, life experience and geopolitical factors. Although their proposals shared common features, each one peculiarly developed the elements of the program organization, the strategical approaches and the management of the curricular processes - which displayed differently in the key component of community orientation, as well as on the consequences of their outcomes on the physician education and the health system. This report brings the available documental information together and makes inferences about the basic features of the curricular innovation and its effects, in the three cases.
