Therefore, medical school programs, after publication of the new National Curricular Guidelines, in 2014, are undergoing a pedagogical reformulation in order to graduate physicists who will work mainly in Primary Care.

When asked about aspects of individual approach, the students of Lagarto Campus showed higher scores about the use of person-centered clinical method and expanded clinic instruments. It was also detected that the same campus showed significant differences in answers of all items related to familiar approach tools, such as the instruments used for diagnosis of family functioning and home visits. Furthermore, the study also revealed a bigger agreement in Lagarto’s students in four out of five items about communitarian approach. It was also found that there was significant difference, evidencing higher scores for Lagarto’s students in most questions about the new National Curricular Guidelines.
