Since 2003, the program Experiences and Internships in the Reality of the Brazilian National Health System (VER-SUS) has given university students the opportunity to experience the reality of the SUS. These experiences are part of the More Doctors Program framework, involving its organization in the reality of the Brazilian healthcare system. A group of students from several health areas spent seven days at planning and implementation meetings for the program in the state of São Paulo. The activities carried out included participation in meetings, tours to healthcare units, assessment of program implementation, and spaces for discussion. This paper is a report on the experience from the perspective of a student who participated in the experience, by means of a chronological and reflective narrative and theoretical grounds within the context of each issue raised.
