Abstract The objective of this work was to reflect on the palliative care in medical training. It was based on academic internship experiences of the tenth period of a medical course at a university in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in the months of September and October 2017. The principles of palliative care centered on the person are seen as way to ease human suffering. The lack of preparation in medical training is analyzed from the appearance of the palliative care and the recognition of Palliative Medicine as a medical subspecialty. It also discusses that with the increase in life expectancy and thus, chronic diseases, dealing with topics such as finitude, death and palliative care are presented as a need in medical training. The internship field experience provided the medical students the deepening and reflection about palliative care.
