Evidence¶

Mak-van der Vossen M 2017¶

Mak-van der Vossen M, van Mook W, van der Burgt S, Kors J, Ket JCF, Croiset G, Kusurkar R. (2017). Descriptors for unprofessional behaviours of medical students: a systematic review and categorisation. BMC Medical Education. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-017-0997-x

q2 · i? · review · r3

The review reports this second-hand finding in its discussion of dishonest behaviour, citing prior work; the review did not itself compute the prediction. It concludes that faculty awareness should be raised for students not obeying rules and regulations. No effect size is printed.

"Failing to complete required course evaluations and failing to report immunization compliance were found to be significant predictors of students' unprofessional behaviours in subsequent years"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Systematic review distils 205 descriptions of medical students' unprofessional behaviours into 30 descriptors in four themes
• Research attention to medical student unprofessional behaviour shifted over time: fraudulent behaviours first (US, around 1980), poor self-awareness around 2000, and internet-related behaviours recently
• Some student behaviours (poor initiative, irresponsibility, diminished capacity for self-improvement) predict future unprofessional behaviour as a physician — a broader claim this one bears on
