To participate, you must be a current medical student, resident, or have graduated within the past 2 years, U.S. based.
I’m writing a reported article for Medscape on how medical students, residents, and recent grads respond to moments when professionalism falters in clinical settings—especially those “wait, is this okay?” gray-area situations.
I’m looking for people willing to share on the record about:
An instance when you observed behavior that felt unprofessional (from a peer, resident, or attending)
Whether you spoke up or reported it, and what happened next
How your training did—or didn’t—prepare you for this kind of ethical uncertainty
What advice you’d offer someone facing a similar moment
Important:
To participate, you must be a current medical student, resident, or have graduated within the past 2 years.
All contributions must be attributed by name, and responses may be quoted in the published piece on Medscape.
Your full name and preferred credentials (e.g., Jane Smith, MD, or Jane Smith, MS4) *credentials will be verified*
Your current role/school/residency program
Confirmation that Medscape has your permission to publish your responses with attribution
