Brown Med Students Feel Mistreated

March 7, 2008 RSS Feed Print

Medical school students at Brown University are feeling especially abused, according to a med school survey. Nearly 25 percent of Brown students report some form of mistreatment during their time in school, compared with the national average of 12 percent, the Brown Daily Herald reports.

The numbers prompted Brown med school officials to invite fourth-year students to participate in a focus group to discuss the type of mistreatment or determine that students are maybe "too sensitized and politically correct." Partially because of scheduling conflicts, few attended the event.
