[Gender-based relations and mistreatment in medical schools: A pending agenda in Mexico and the world]. / Las relaciones de género y el maltrato en las escuelas de medicina: una agenda pendiente en México y el mundo.

The purpose of this review is to describe and analyze the status of gender violence in medical schools around the world, and its consequences in undergraduate students' health and academic development, mainly on female students. The different modalities reported in the literature are presented: gender discrimination, sexism, and sexual harassment, among others. The increase of women in medical schools has not transcendentally improved their condition in these institutions, where androcentrism and gender regimes that favor gender violence reproduce. This type of violence is a public health, human rights, and academic problem.
