This paper is the second in a series that presents the curricular structure and pedagogical model implemented at the Federal University of Southern Bahia (UFSB) school of medicine, which adopts a2-cycle training system, fully integrated to the practices of the Brazilian Unified Health System. Firstly, graduate profiles and competencies are presented, introducing the second cycle course curriculum and highlighting its adherence to the current legal framework. Secondly, thematic blocks for scientific and technical training are presented, with contents organized in life cycles rather than in disciplines, aiming to overcome the model that fragments the human subject into systems, organs and pathologies. Thirdly, we address the element of practices, consisting of supervised internships at all levels of care in the SUS system, emphasizing primary health care, which pervades the entire second training cycle. Finally, we discuss the impact and effects of restructuring higher education in terms of the convergence between formative models of professional health training and public health needs.
