The purpose of this investigation was to unveil the feelings of medical students while facing the phenomena of death, and also the meaning of these experiences on their lived-world and its implications to their academic training. The investigation was carried out with 10 students who are regularly registered in the Medical School of the Pontificia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), Porto Alegre, Brazil, attending between the 3rd and the 6th year.
