PurposeMistreatment of medical students by patients has not been qualitatively explored in the literature. The authors sought to develop a rich understanding of the impact and consequences of medical students' experiences of mistreatment by patients. MethodThis exploratory descriptive qualitative study was conducted at a large Canadian medical school from April-November 2020. Fourteen medical students were recruited for semistructured interviews. Students were asked about their experiences of mistreatment by patients and how they responded to these experiences. Transcripts were thematically analyzed using an inductive approach, and the authors interwove critical theory into their conceptual interpretation of the data.
