AAMC reports 20% of Medical Students are Mistreated
One of this months top stories from the AMA MedEd Update News was about the mistreatment of medical students and the move to more accurately gather information on the prevelance of this problem in order to raise awarness and to better address the issue. "...the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has made significant changes to its annual questionnaire of graduating medical students to improve collection of data on medical student mistreatment."In the current 2012 survey, questions regarding mistreatment will be more visible.
"Current data from previous questionnaires show that approximately one in five medical students report that they have experienced mistreatment. Data from the 2012 questionnaire, which is currently in the field, will be available for release by the fall."
