The current panorama of the health of sexual and gender minorities in medical degree is centered on an biologicaland cishetero-normative model, endowed with a reductionist view of sexuality, which limits it to a solely reproductive and pathological bias, to produce and to encourage the normalizationof discrimination against people who do not belong to thisgroup, that isLGBTQIA+ people, and to make it difficult forstudents and professionals, to recognize human diversity and the exercise of universal health care. Thus, this work aims to describe the debate on sexual and gender minorities in medical graduation at a private teaching institution in “Paraíba”. For this, a cross-sectional, descriptive and qualitative observational field research wascarried out, from Aprilto May2022. The study population isformed bymedicalstudentsat “UNIPÊ”, regularly enrolled in the disciplineof “Atenção Primária em Saúde I(APS I)”in semester 2022.1, selected non-randomly and for convenience, until theoretical data saturation. For data collection, the technique adopted wasthat focus groups, whose discussion wasguided by open questions prepared by the researchers, with the dialogue recorded in audio format. In turn, the analysis of these data was carried out through discourse analysis. This study wassubmitted for evaluation by the Research Ethics Committee of the “Centro Universitário de João Pessoa (CEP/UNIPÊ)”, and approved in April 2022 (CAAE: 56697722.0.0000.5176). It was observed thatthe teaching of sexuality and gender issues is inserted broadly in curriculumof the “UNIPÊ”, to value the biopsychosocial dimension of sexuality, the discussion of gender roles, homophobia, identity and culture, which promotes, forthestudents, a favorable environment for the deconstruction of stereotypes and the development of inclusive practices, through the acquisition of knowledge and clinical skills, thus,contributing to the recognition of human diversity and the exercise of universal health care by future professionals. In this way, it is concluded about the importance of inserting the debate on sexual and gender minorities in medical education,to transform the current cishetero-normative, excluding and discriminatory context of universities, deconstructing the process by which some individualsbecome normalized and others marginalized.
