Speaking of second look…
I’m just curious as to if an honest disclosure was made with regard to the ongoing problem of medical student mistreatment at Hopkins….
If not, it’s time to let everyone in on the open secret at JHUSOM.
LCME, the accrediting body for medical schools, absolutely ripped Hopkins for medical student mistreatment during the organization’s most recent site visit.
The administration did everything possible to keep this hush-hush for the past two years. Recently, it appears that someone done goofed and uploaded a document summarizing the issues to the public internet.
https://portalcontent.johnshopkins....cal_Student_Mistreatment_at_Hopkins_BRIEF.pdf
In summary, more than half of Hopkins students reported being publicly embarrassed by their teachers. Nearly a third of students described the behavior they were subjected to as going far enough as to constitute public humiliation.
While the extent of degrading behavior on the part of residents and faculty is truly disturbing, a couple of further findings are absolutely jaw dropping:
Hopkins medical students reported being asked to perform personal services for those they report to at 2X the national average.
Moreover, students reported being subjected to abuse so severe *that it actually led to physical harm* at 3X the national average* (!).
A few observations…
The document linked above contains a lot of language representing the administration’s attempt to conduct damage control by minimizing/denying the problem.
What is conveniently left out is that there is good reason to believe that the survey numbers are actually artificially low. Everyone who has been at Hopkins for more than two weeks knows that surveys purporting to be anonymous are anything but that. Plenty of us who have been on the receiving end of retaliation learned the hard way to never put anything negative in an “anonymous” survey.
Finally, despite the passage in the document describing the plan to create an ombudsman to advocate on behalf of medical students, it never actually happened. In fact, absolutely nothing was meaningful was done. The “response” to being confronted with this data was simply a charade designed to placate LCME so that the institution could survive with accreditation intact.
And *BOOM* goes the dynamite…
Stay tuned. Plenty more details to come…
