Introduction: Medical Residency represents the best form of in-service training after completing medical school. Gynecology and Obstetrics has a national regulatory body called Febrasgo (Brazilian Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) that has developed a competency matrix to standardize all Medical Residency programs. This change aroused the desire to conduct a survey with the residents of a public hospital. Objectives: The present study decided to assess whether the axis of the competence matrix related to sexuality issues (which represents the tenth axis), were included in the Medical Residency Program of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the referred hospital. Methods and Discussion: The methodology used was qualitative, in the form of a focus group, as a way of assessing whether the professionals in formation at a public hospital had contact with patients of homo-affective sexual orientations during the three-year course of the Residence. Thus, they were brought together in a neutral environment and the meeting was coordinated by a moderator and a research assistant. Results and Conclusions: From the focus group, it can be seen that one third of the residents had contact with the care of patients of the object of study and, thus, topics related to this theme were added to the theoretical program, in order to contemplate the matrix of competence.
