Objetivo: Objetivou-se avaliar a ansiedade de estudantes de medicina – internos e identificar mudanças em relação à perspectiva sobre a profissão durante o período pandêmico no Brasil, entre novembro de 2020 e fevereiro de 2021. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal descritivo no qual os estudantes internos responderam a um questionário de pesquisa online. A avaliação foi realizada por meio do questionário validado General Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7). Resultados: Participaram 162 estudantes, com média de idade de 24,9 anos, maioria do sexo feminino (66,7%); 83,3% tiveram a opção de retornar ao atendimento prático. Destes, 35% afirmaram ter tido contato com pacientes suspeitos para COVID-19 e 13% tiveram teste positivo para COVID-19. Os escores do GAD-7 mostraram que 37% apresentaram sintomas de ansiedade leve, 22,8% moderado, e 6,8% grave. Um escore GAD-7 positivo para TAG foi encontrado em 29,6% deles. A ansiedade associou-se significativamente (p = 0,013) ao questionamento da escolha da Medicina como profissão.
Conclusões: Encontramos alta frequência de internos com sintomas de ansiedade, superior à observada em estudos semelhantes anteriores à pandemia. Além disso, os acadêmicos com ansiedade foram os que mais questionaram a escolha da profissão.
