Abstract: To analyze the experiences of multiprofessional family health residents in providing care to women with symptoms of endometriosis. Method: A qualitative study involving residents from the Multiprofessional Family Health Residency Program at the Federal University of Rio Grande (Rio Grande, RS). Semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2020 at the health units where the residents practiced. Data were analyzed using content analysis. Results: Residents provide care to symptomatic women and recognize the symptoms, associating them with endometriosis. They highlight the need for active listening and collaborative practices to improve the quality of health care. They report shortcomings in the care provided to symptomatic women, such as the dismissal of their pain by health professionals and delays in the referral and counter-referral processes. They emphasize that personal experiences, specifically involving friends, raised their awareness regarding the identification of symptomatic women at the health unit. Final considerations: Interprofessional education is believed to enhance the quality of care, which is essential for women with symptoms of endometriosis.
