Abuse affects students' confidence

Carla Kemp

Graduating students who reported experiencing verbal abuse during medical school had less confidence in their clinical abilities than those who were not abused, according to a nationwide study.

The author used data from the Association of American Medical Colleges 1996 Medical School Graduation Questionnaire (GQ) and its Matriculating Student Questionnaire to explore whether there was a relationship between students' self-reported experiences of verbal abuse and their confidence in their clinical skills.
