Abstract
Objective: To understand the importance of the medical student’s role as a future Primary Care manager in a city of São Paulo, Brazil. Experience report: This is a reflective experience report, conducted by 3 medical students at the University of Franca – São Paulo, based on their performance at the implementation of the Management Council (CM) of Basic Health Unit. The students identified the curriculum deficiency at medical graduation of health managers. As result, it is important to encourage the contact with health management, during the medical graduation, in order to ability academics to be able to solve problems and improve the community social context. Final considerations: The reflection demonstrated the need for restructuring the medical curriculum at universities, since the physician shows an important role as a leader in political and health planning activities that are not being explored during graduation. CM is a great advance in developing a better medical graduation, although, adherence is usually low due to the precarious health literacy of the assisted community.
