REZENDE, Valter L M et al. Views of teachers and students on curricular development in primary care after the 2014 Curricular Guidelines. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2019, vol.43, n.3, pp.91-99. ISSN 1981-5271.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1981-52712015v43n2rb20180237.

The 2014 National Curriculum Guidelines (NCG) for medical courses provide for a more focused training in Primary Health Care (PHC). The Federal University of Goiás Faculty of Medicine, adapting the new NCGs, developed a new Pedagogical Course Project (PCP). This study evaluated the views of students and teachers on the development of the new medical course curriculum of that Federal University inf the Brazilian midwest region, post the new National Curricular Guidelines of 2014 regarding teaching in Primary Health Care. A case study was carried out with a qualitative approach, which sought to describe and understand the processes of changes that occurred in the medical curriculum of the UFG following the implementation of the new pedagogical project in 2014. The data were collected through two focus groups: The first with students and the second with teachers. Content analysis was used to evaluate the focus group. Students and teachers shared the view that the development of the new curriculum is flawed. The institution was able to write the new pedagogical project based on the 2014 NCGs, but resources for the development of the new curriculum are scarce. The students pointed out the depreciation of the teaching in primary health care by some teachers and the lack of longitudinality in the teaching of the primary health care. Teachers highlighted the lack of support from municipal management, shortage of internships field and qualified trainers for this change. As for the physical structure, in general, lack of inputs and reforms, and within the university a lack of didactic resources, which ends up discouraging the students and teachers. Achieving internships, materials and professionals who accept receiving students are also highlighted as challenges. The new curriculum, although designed to contemplate teaching in PHC, faces resistance and lacks teachers with specific training in the area.
