The curricular reforms of Medicine graduation courses in Brazil are territories in dispute for forces with variable intensities, directions and senses, emanating from many different knowledge sources, in a specific historical time.

The main objective of this paper was to identify, in a panoramic way, the structuring axes that model the curricula of Medicine graduation courses in Brazil and, in a specific way, to contextualize them with recent historical events. As methodology, we used the concepts of bibliographic and documentary research and, as main analysis source, the new National Curricular Guidelines of Medicine Graduation Courses, of June 2014. The results point to the existence of four major axes: health promotion, political-economic, ethical-cultural and symbolic-technological.
