Abstract
The aim of this study is to present, by way of a critical narrative, my reflections on the problem-based learning teaching method adopted by the Department of Medicine at the Federal University of São Carlos, as well as aspects of the curriculum and the challenges I faced in the course of my medical education. It also introduces considerations about how I evolved during the six years of my undergraduate training in Medicine, insofar as, little by little, I managed to surmount my own limitations during this journey.
