The curriculum that has served as a basis for the formation of family doctors dated back 15 years, and despite its effectiveness and impact, it needs to be improved in its curricular design that should be characterized by a wide participation. The selection of the contents of the curriculum should assure: the humanistic formation of professionals and the leading character of the comprehensive General Medicine as a discipline; the modular type structuring combined with the discipline structuring and the inclusion of scientific research in the curriculum. The contents should be organized with greater flexibility. The main difficulties of the curricular implementation and the required preparation of the teaching staff are analyzed. Regarding the curricular evaluation, it is pointed out that the education research works have failed in organization and systematization. It is concluded that the present curriculum, so linked to the achievements of the health sector, still has some potentialities to be developed
