Hence we aimed to analyze the instruments used by medical schools to evaluate the internship rotations from the point of view of their students. Our main hypothesis was that many instruments do not incorporate questions directed at the assessment of ethical conflicts occurring during that period. We conducted a cross-sectional study based on documentation analysis of the instruments used by Brazilian medical schools for evaluation of the internship rotations by their own students. We randomly selected 121 Brazilian medical schools. We excluded medical schools that still did not have students enrolled in any internship rotation as of the first semester of 2014. Two independent researchers examined the assessment instruments obtained and extracted standardized information for each instrument. Any disagreements between the reviewers will be solved through the assessment of a third researcher. Of the 121 institutions contacted, 46 agreed to participate in the survey. Among these, 23 stated that they some formal instrument for evaluation of the internship rotations by their students.
