What's the point?

In a 1990 JAMA study by pediatrician Henry K. Silver, 46.4% of students at one medical school had been abused at some point during medical school. By the time they were seniors, that number was 80.6%.

Subtle, but viscious cycles that arise from generations of damaging hierarchies cause much harm and long-term distress for medical professionals.

At LearnMedicine, we actively fight the war against these hierarchies. Here, we support each other to develop strong foundations for working together to succeed as future doctors, eliminating these damaging hierarchies and encourage a spirit of cooperation and zero tolerance of bullying and harrassment in Medicine. Students become more confident medical teachers, empowering each other to improve not through competition, but collaboration.
