Abstract: Introduction: This research aims to understand the current knowledge on the health of the transgender population in the Brazilian Journal of Medical Education. Historically, the formation in medicine was consolidated in the Cartesian discourses: the figure of the white man, heterosexual and cisgender. Method: This is a qualitative and retrospective research, which also aims to problematize the medical education and the importance of Queer Studies. A documental analysis was carried out to identify the content in the conceptual constructs of the documents published between 2008 and 2017. The content analysis method according to Bardin was then chosen. Results: The methodological management indicated four categories for study: knowledge about the sexuality of medical students; gender as a research variable; gender and education; training and sexuality. Conclusion: The analyzed material indicates the lack of publications on the health of people whose gender identity is considered as dissident. The need for editorial opening is pointed out, with the purpose of providing visibility to the demands of the transgender population in the journal, aiming to broaden the discussions on the integral health of the LGBTTQIA+ population during graduation.
