“…Consistent with previous literature, 2–9,12,14–17 participants in this study did not report their abuse through official channels. Notably, our participants described feeling that reporting would not lead to any meaningful or actionable change, which was also noted in another study.…”

“…Previous research shows a persistent pattern of mistreatment by patients against women and visible minority health care professionals that continues throughout the career trajectory from medical student to seasoned physician. 1–21,28,29 Our study adds to this literature with rich qualitative descriptions of how medical students experience mistreatment by patients, which appears to be frequently catalyzed by biased perceptions of students’ gender, race, or ethnicity. The students in our study described a simultaneous experience of harm and a desire to suppress or overcome this harm, and sometimes, they indicated that their long-term career decisions shifted as a result.…”

“…Other research has highlighted that when learners do not vocalize mistreatment, it can lead to poor patient outcomes, such as delay in treatment, decreased safety of care, and negative impacts on patient experience. 12 How students experience and then rationalize their experiences of mistreatment thus appears to be integral to their socialization and identity formation as health care professionals. 40,41 Our findings illuminate that institutions must do more to develop a culture that emphasizes a students’ right to a respectful learning environment as an antidote to unspoken normative expectations that imply students should be unfazed by incidents of mistreatment by patients.…”

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.
