Resumo
Este estudo qualitativo fenomenológico e autoetnográfico analisa a experiência de estudantes de medicina brasileiros durante missão humanitária em Benin, África Subsaariana. Através dos registros do coordenador da missão, examinamos dimensões humanas, técnicas e emocionais do encontro com realidades de extrema vulnerabilidade. A pesquisa demonstra como a imersão em contextos de escassez absoluta impacta a formação médica, ressignificando conceitos de cuidado, dignidade humana e justiça social. Os resultados destacam a importância de experiências interculturais para desenvolver empatia e consciência global entre profissionais de saúde em formação, revelando tensões éticas na prestação de cuidados com recursos limitados. Concluímos que tais vivências contribuem para formar médicos com maior sensibilidade cultural e compromisso com a equidade em saúde global, sugerindo a incorporação de componentes interculturais humanitários nos currículos médicos.
