Abstract:
1) To our knowledge, medical student abuse has not previously been studied in Japan.
2) In our survey, 68.5% of respondents experienced medical student abuse.
3) Several students reported that they had been frequently neglected or ignored by teaching physicians during clinical clerkships and that such attitudes discouraged them and decreased their motivation.
4) To improve the learning environment, medical educators must take action to resolve this serious issue.
