METHODOLOGY: Exploratory study with a qualitative approach, carried out at a private higher education institution, in Belem-Pa (Brazil), from May to November 2019, through a semi-structured interview, with saturation sampling, in total of 30 participants. Data will be analyzed using the Bardin method. RESULTS: Four categories were listed, which are: "Choice of profession", "Types of prejudice", "The causes and / or reasons of prejudice experienced in the profession" and "Strategies for dealing with prejudice".
