History, strengths, weaknesses and new challenges. An. Fac. Cienc. Méd. (Asunción) [online]. 2023, vol.56, n.1, pp.85-102. ISSN 1816-8949.  https://doi.org/10.18004/anales/2023.056.01.85.

The Faculty of Medical Sciences graduated in 2023 the first cohort of physicians trained with the new curriculum, implemented since 2017 as a result of the Curricular Innovation Project (CIP) developed in the previous 5 years. The purpose was to transition from a traditional curriculum to one that is competency-oriented, integrated, relevant to the health needs of the environment, incorporating the semester, academic credits and the supervised pre-professional Clinical Rotation. Curricular integration is one of the most important references of this innovation. It is intended here to initiate a narrative that passes the historical testimony of this transformation and recognizes the collective commitment demonstrated with the formation of medical professionals of excellence. It includes the historical framework, the phases of the CIP, the curricular criteria involved, the human teams involved, the organizational structure for the implementation, the summary of the mid-term evaluation and the current scenario, where the evaluation of the implementation is fundamental to feed back the process and generate continuous improvement.
