Abstract Medical schools must incorporate the teaching of professionalism into the curriculum to ensure that the next generations of physicians are prepared for a compassionate, humane, and ethical professional practice, suitable to the interests of society in a world with ever-increasing and ever-changing demands. This study's greatest contribution is to highlight the interns' poor performance in the legal and support aspects of the situations addressed. The data speak in favor of an institutionalized training policy as the first step toward getting the healthcare sector to prioritize competence in healthcare for victims of violence related to gender and non-heterosexual sexuality.
