Key Points
Question
What programmatic and curricular attempts have been reported to decrease the incidence of mistreatment of medical trainees?
Findings
After a systematic review of more than 3300 articles, only 10 peer-reviewed studies presented outcomes from an implemented program to prevent mistreatment. Overall, quality of included studies was low, and few studies reported any outcome data.
Meaning
There are very few published descriptions of programs attempting to decrease mistreatment of medical trainees, and there is a need for improved quantity and quality of such reports.
