SOARES, Maria Fernanda Sanches  e  ATHANAZIO, Daniel Abensur. The New Curriculum and the End of Pathology. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2016, vol.40, n.3, pp.528-534. ISSN 1981-5271.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1981-52712015v40n3e01082015.

The gradual adoption of new directives in medical undergraduate curricula has dramatically changed the role of the pathologist in medical education. The practical consequences of these changes have been a reduction of space dedicated to pathology and the role of the pathology professor in the medical curriculum. As a result, new doctors have less knowledge of the basic mechanisms of diseases and, at least in some parts of the world, a loss of visibility of the specialty has led to a dwindling number of potential new pathology residents and more vacancies in academic and surgical/diagnostic pathology. This review discusses the international scenario and comments on how the new curriculum has affected Pathology Education in two traditional medical schools in Brazil.
