“…Studies show that specialty-based mistreatment is high among students entering both primary care and subspecialty fields 11,12 and that it can generate perceptions of being denied learning opportunities, lower evaluations, and fearful approaches to self-expression. 13 This "interdepartmental mistreatment" may also occur between other groups, including administrators, advanced practitioners, nurses, and learners from other institutions.…”

Understanding and addressing the issue of learner mistreatment is among the most pressing challenges facing academic medicine today. Despite the fact that residents have a significant influence on the clinical learning environment and may be both recipients and perpetrators of mistreatment, the resident perspective on the issue of learner mistreatment is notably sparse in the medical education literature. In this Commentary, the authors provide a resident response to recent data showing that mistreatment is subjective and may occur on a spectrum from incident-based mistreatment to environmental-based mistreatment. They focus on specific factors from the learning environment that may increase a learner's tendency to feel mistreated or have a suboptimal learning experience, including team cohesion, marginalization, peer-on-peer mistreatment, witnessing mistreatment, hierarchies, interdepartmental mistreatment, acculturation of uncivil behaviors, and residents themselves. This is followed by a discussion of proposed solutions to mitigate the negative impact of these influences and build safe learning environments, collaborative teams, empathic teachers, and resilient learners.

“…Although various aspects infl uence the career decisions of medical students, the perception of different specialties is of particular importance [ 4 ] . In general, disparagement of dermatology by non-dermatology physicians has recently been reported to be quite prevalent, with major criticism relating to a perceived shift from medical to cosmetic emphasis in the dermatological fi eld [ 5,6 ] . Moreover, previous studies suggest that dermatology is often associated with lower prestige than any other specialties [ 4,7,8 ] .…”

BackgroundThere are unique challenges to recruiting students into the specialty of family medicine within academic medical centers.MethodsAt Virginia Commonwealth University, we developed an advising framework to help students address institutional and personal obstacles to choosing family medicine as a career.ResultsThe role of a faculty advisor is not to direct the student to a career choice but rather to foster a mentor relationship and help the student come to his or her own realizations regarding career choice. The faculty advisor/medical student interview is conceptualized as five discussion topics: self-knowledge, perception, organizational voice, cognitive dissonance, and anticipatory counseling.ConclusionThis framework is intended to assist faculty in their efforts to encourage students to consider a career in family medicine.
