This article aims to analyse the perceptions of Brazilian medical students about their participation in the program "Brasil Conta Comigo", which proposes to insert health students in different contexts amid the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional study was carried out among Brazilian senior medical students at a public university that answered a self-applied questionnaire (76% response rate). From the students' perception, they emphasize their feeling of secure and preparedness for the clinical practice experience in a pandemic context. In addition, they also highlighted the importance of the program for their training as future professionals and pointed out negative aspects of this experience such as the distancing from their families and the anxiety in the face of an uncertain context. Nevertheless, the exposure of medical students to clinical practice in the context of a pandemic is an important factor in professional development. Medical students play a key role in public health, helping to offer assistance and health care to the country's most vulnerable population.
