This finding is consistent with the report by Salam et al 10 but other study found a significantly higher score in professionalism.…”

“…This topic is of interest because there is a strong body of evidence that professionalism wanes as students advance in their medical training with males more negatively affected (Johnston et al, 2011). This could be due to the fact that the behaviour of mentors or senior role models (mostly male), during clinical training may be different from what they were taught to expect during pre-clinical professionalism training.…”

“…In another study the incidence of abuse was greater than 68 percent (NagataKobayashi et al, 2006). Decline in professional development with advancing clinical training, Racism and discrimination were also problems confronting students based on findings of a recent research (Johnston et al, 2011). Although negative feedback has sometimes wrongly been interpreted as abuse by students, the evidence that this is a problem in medical training is substantial.…”

It also looks at the impact of these on students and the relationship between gender/ethnicity and students' experiences of these behaviours. Methods:A survey using the QUBPI (Queens University Belfast Professionalism Index) questionnaire was disseminated among a random sample of 139 (100% response rate) fourth year medical students in College from February to May 2014 to identify the frequency and nature of unprofessional behaviours experienced. Subsequently, 10 semi structured interviews were conducted with two students from each of the five blocks of students completing their Psychiatry Clinical placement during the year. This was to obtain in-depth insights into students' experiences, the impact of these and to establish learning points from these. These different types of data were then analysed iteratively using SPSS and NVIVO software respectively, to allow for triangulation, member checking and reflexivity. Results:There was no significant difference in students' experiences of unprofessional behaviour based on Gender, entry level (graduate or under-graduate entry) or Ethnicity. There was however a moderate/small effect size in terms of male vs. female gender and ethnicity (Caucasian vs. nonCaucasian) (Males=Cohen's d of 0.38, females=Cohen's D of 0.2) which could be explained by the fact that in group and out group dynamics rise such that as students move away from the dominant mentor/teacher characteristic, they may start to experience or perceive the occurrence of higher levels of unprofessional behaviour. The Qualitative arm of the study confirm that some students even experience marked levels of discrimination; with students' often been shouted out/criticised publicly during clinical training. Conclusions:More practical vignettes/role playing of common ethical dilemmas should be introduced into

“…This is similar to the idea of ah idden curriculum exerting powerful influences on the occupational socialization of medical students. Johnston et al (2011), in ac ross-sectional survey, noted aprogressive decline in the "professionalism scores" of medical students on af ive-year program of study.M ore worryingly, their anonymous free-text responses listed examples of bullying, racism, sexism, and lack of respecti nd iscriminatoryc ultures that prized "teaching by humiliation.
