The Faculty of Medicine of the Federal University of Goiás (Famed-UFG) established in 2003 a new curriculum for medical graduation, supported by the Program for the Encouragement of Changes in the Curriculum of Medical Schools (Promed). The aim of this study was to collect data regarding the opinion of the teachers about the new curriculum. As an instrument for collecting information we elaborated a questionnaire with objective and subjective questions, which was delivered to the professors of the first three years of the course. The greater part of teachers (77%) revealed to be in favor of the reformulation, mentioning as improvements more integration among disciplines, extension of the internship period and being adapted to the reality of the health system. Other points mentioned were the increased workload, the resistance to changes of some of the teachers and the need to improve the continued professional capacity building program offered by our school. Knowing how the teachers think about the new curriculum can in many ways be useful for its improvement and shows that studies of this kind are necessary to support the changes in the curriculums.
