A Model Policy Addressing Mistreatment of Medical Students

Abstract

... At the College of Medicine of the University of Tennessee, Memphis, a policy on the mistreatment of students has been developed that follows the AAMC's recommendations and also emphasizes education of the college community as a method of preventing incidents of mistreatment. This article presents a description of the policy in the hope of providing a useful model for other medical schools addressing this issue. It describes one approach, recognizing that other methods are possible.
