The current situation in medical education in Brazil presents significant changes, specially the establishment of the National Curriculum Guidelines for health education, which influenced important changes in internship and practices in SUS; 3- The institutions are formed in the teaching-learning process; 4- The political and institutional relations constitute themselves in the ongoing process and can present changes.

The results showed as improvement the implementation of CIMI and as main challenge the joint work of three different educational institutions in a single internship model.
