Introduction: Instituted in 2014, the National Curricular Guidelines (NCG) of the Undergraduate Medical Course contains several recommendations, especially for the Medical Internship. Despite the recognition of the need for changes in medical education, in terms of professional training to meet the demands of the community, instituting these NCG was considered by many to be less democratic and its implementation process by the Medical Schools is still little studied. Objectives: to analyze the Medical Internship in Medical Schools of the State of Rio de Janeiro, after instituting the National Curricular Guidelines for the Medical’s Undergraduate Course of 2014, according to the Coordinators / Course Directors and Internship Coordinators. Methodology: In this research, qualitative and quantitative approaches were used, with the participation of Coordinators / Course Directors and Internship Coordinators. In March 2016, the State of Rio de Janeiro had 19 medical courses in 15 Medical Schools. Of these, nine courses participated in the research. The study population was represented by 13 participants and of these 09 Course Coordinators and 04 Internship Coordinators. We applied a research instrument composed of closed-ended and open-ended questions and an attitudinal scale. For data analysis, the scale was evaluated by statistical analysis and the answers of the open-ended questions were submitted to content analysis, in the thematic analysis modality. Results and discussion: In the view of the Coordinators participating in the research, all Medical Schools are in the process of adapting to the NGC’s determinations of 2014. The majority are in agreement with the mandatory inclusion of Urgency and Emergency, Primary Care and Mental Health in the Internship areas. There are many difficulties that we encountered in the process of implantation and / or restructuring of these activities in Internship: the scarcity of scenarios; precariousness of the existing scenarios in the Emergency of the Unified Health System; lack of teachers / preceptors; and the deadline established for the implementation of the Guidelines. However, the coordinators have planned / used some strategies such as the diversification of practice scenarios, the creation of elective internships, the establishment of agreements and partnerships, development of integrated activities with other Internships areas and the use of realistic simulation laboratories. Final considerations: The Medical Schools live a moment of curricular transformation, encouraged by the NCG. We must see this moment as an opportunity to revisit the Medical Internship and, possibly, to find strategies for the improvement of medical training in this privileged space of the undergraduate. We believe that the dissemination of this research’s results can help the Medical Schools in the process of appropriation and implementation of NCG’s determinations of 2014.
