- Abstract
Education in medical physics is a contemporary theme of research that has gained worldwide popularity. In Brazil there are still few studies about this subject. The objective of this work is to present and discuss elements that structure the Curriculum Pedagogical Projects (CPPs) of undergraduate programs in medical physics offered in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. From the analysis of national and international materials, an outline was made of the four programs established in the State. In summary, the four CPPs are based in an active methodological approach, all being classified as innovative CPPs. Each program justification and graduate profiles are based on the local, cultural and social realities. General objectives, specific objectives and areas of activity are guided by the institution philosophy in which the undergraduate program is inserted. The curricula of each undergraduate course agree with each institution's guidelines and particular characteristics. The results of this work may contribute to the construction of an increasingly multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary program that is aimed to prepare a professional that is able to work according to the reality of Brazil.
