Introduction: Gender based violence (GBV) include all types of Human Rights violations due to the sex, age, race, ethnicity, religious beliefs and sexual orientation. GBV is a complex problem and its effects generate risks and reproductive health problems, chronic illness, psychological consequences, injuries even death. Materials and Methods:Exploratory design for the characterization of the GBV at the Faculty of Medicine of the Military University in Bogotá. The universe were premed students and residents, the sampling was by convenience with students that agreed to participate in the study. 201 students, 170 of premed and 31 residents, between September 2012 and February 2013, answered the survey. The survey identified the type, frequency, the response and the consequences of the GBV at the medical school. Results: Most of the GBV were due to being a woman (94%), followed by sexual orientation (8.5%), religious beliefs 5.1% and race (3.4%). The psychological violence was the most frequently perceived 65.7%, sexual violence was present on 35.3% and physical violence on a 6.5%. The most used response was ignoring the situation (41%), followed by telling a friend (26.8%). The consequences identified were denial and the decision of work harder at the hospital. Discussion: As a finding, the GBV in this context is present and is not an isolated or subtle condition. This reaffirms CEDAW's (Convention on elimination of all forms of discrimination against women) approaches related with violence against women as the main type of violence that requires attention. The behavior of GBV at the Faculty of Medicine at the Military University was similar with findings on related studies. Therefore is necessary to make a reflection about why, if on medical education context are used concepts like wellbeing, equity, diversity, respect, it could be a parallel and contradictory language (hidden curricula). Also it is important to analyze exists a miss relation between academic success with restrictive and punitive educational techniques due to cultural beliefs.
