Curriculum subjects related to Human and Social Sciences are important to the development of skills that will build the abilities related to the behavior of graduates. From the beginning of training, the Univates Dentistry course addresses themes related to discrimination and prejudice in an integrated way in its curriculum. This academic project features reports of four students during their internships, aiming to identify, recognize and discuss issues related to prejudice and discrimination in the development of the internship, presenting the challenges encountered in this process. Through subjective reports it is possible to understand the different paths that graduation students go through, and the expansion of opportunities to get in touch with these themes. In the reports, the students describe many learning activities applied during the course that later were used in situations experienced in the internships. Acting, relevant paper reading, challenges proposed in the CBL (Challenge Based Learning), production of overviews and reports and participation in conferences are some of the important references in the care of specific populations such as indigenous people, immigrants, people with black skin, convicted people with electronic anklets, transsexuals and individuals with special needs. These experiences are often only possible due to the presence of students in the public health and care systems. The internship expands the student service experiences, contributing for a more humanized and real graduation. The contact of students with different realities is beneficial for the development of new perspectives from the content learned theoretically and, when combined, can build up to a more humanized graduation.
