This research focuses on the educational policies and practices related to medical training. Historical materialism and dialectical approaches were used to conduct qualitative research using the comparison study of the two cases. The sample was intentional, with observations in two medical schools, one Institution A from Brazil and another Institution B from Portugal. The objective was to compare and analyze the curriculum policies and practices of organizations with respect to the educational policies of each country. The similarities between the courses were: 1) the teaching of student-centric curriculum and 2) the profile of the medical graduates. However, the largest differences were highlighted in the social integration proposed by Institution A, and the budget for research and for internationalization proposed by Institution B. In conclusion, it was observed that both institutions try to materialize the educational projects according to their current norms and seek to follow a reflective approach in order to achieve social transformation in contextual reality.
