Introduction: Medical professionalism involves practicing medicine in accordance with its intended identity and is an essential competence in undergraduate education. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe how medical professionalism (MP) is presented in the Course Pedagogical Project. Method: It is a qualitative, descriptive case study based on a documentary analysis of the Course Pedagogical Project of a medical degree program in the south of the state of Ceará. The data were organized and analyzed in light of the Competence Matrix of Medical Professionalism in Brazil. Results: The domains "cultural competence" and "commitment to technical competence" stood out in the analyzed material, in contrast to the others that were less frequently mentioned, such as "commitment to ethical aspects". The domains "collaboration and communication skills", "commitment to the patient", "the healthcare service and the profession", "reflective practice and self-knowledge" and "social responsibility" were also inadequately covered in the document. Conclusions: Medical professionalism is still fragmentarily presented in the curricula examined, indicating the need for greater pedagogical investment in addressing this competence. This text is the result of the stricto sensu postgraduate program Professional Master's Degree in Family Health (PROFSAÚDE).
