Introduction: critical assessment of curricula demands methods that allow systematizing the process of construction of judgements. Planning changes to curricula according to systematized review will encourage the improvement of desired competencies and performance for the present working options.Objective: to submit a methodology for preparing a review of a syllabus.
Methods: a developing research was conducted to design a methodology for the critical analysis of a curriculum, for which the content analysis technique and the keywords teaching program, review , syllabus, curriculum and graduate profile were all used.
