Introduction: cushing syndrome is a set of signs and symptoms of diverse origin that translate the exposure of tissues to a chronic excess of cortisol.
Objective: to determine the level of knowledge of medical students about Cushing's Syndrome.
Method: observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study in the period from May 1 to May 20, 2021. The universe consisted of 100 from third to sixth year of the race. Variables such as etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations and diagnosis of Cushing's Syndrome were analyzed. The survey technique was used using a questionnaire-type instrument, it was applied virtually through Google Forms. The responses were archived in an email.
Results: most of the students corresponded to third year (45 %). The level of knowledge about the etiology of Cushing's Syndrome was regular with 41 %, while about the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations and diagnosis it was adequate with 63 %, 46 % and 52 % respectively.
Conclusions: there were difficulties in understanding the etiology of Cushing's syndrome, not being the case in the case of clinical manifestations and diagnosis. However, pathophysiology is the aspect where the greatest knowledge is verified.
