The undergraduate medical course of the State University of Londrina elaborated a proposal for institutional evaluation in the context of the national panorama and of the reality of the region, which was implanted in 2003. The Integrated Evaluation System (SIAMed) analyzes all components of the curriculum and was carried out in three phases: internal evaluation, external evaluation and re-evaluation. These three phases took place from 2003 to 2005. The results allowed identifying the positive and negative aspects of the course, which were discussed with all people involved. As a consequence, new solutions for the identified problems were proposed and approved, and will be implemented in 2006-2008. The evaluation process contributed to consolidating the integrated medical course of the State University of Londrina.
