Transferring to another MD school

I am a first year medical student in decent academic standing, have no legal issues, or otherwise any red flags. I need to transfer to another medical school.

I am facing a type of abuse/blackmail from certain faculty members in one department of my medical school and cannot be specific about the details. I face threats of expulsion and other even worse threats. The involved people are very high in power so I cannot do anything. I am in constant fear.

I have considered all other options so please do not leave any suggestions of speaking out, etc. All I need to know now if there is any possibility of me transferring to another medical school.

US MD, almost no possibility.

If you haven't done anything illegal or unethical, your best shot will be documentation and facing this thing down and enlisting the help of the police or other relevant authority figure.

That sounds awful. Unfortunately, I have never heard of a successful transfer between US allopathic schools.

In all seriousness, I suggest a psych consult.

As per sb247's post, if you're being blackmailed, and this does not mean "remediate... OR see a doctor ...OR take this training or fix this problem you have... or face dismissal", then contact the police.

Persecutory delusions are a set of delusional conditions in which the affected persons believe they are being persecuted. Specifically, they have been defined as containing two central elements:[1]

1. The individual thinks that harm is occurring, or is going to occur.
2. The individual thinks that the perceived persecutor has the intention to cause harm.

According to the DSM-IV-TR, persecutory delusions are the most common form of delusions in paranoid schizophrenia, where the person believes "he or she is being tormented, followed, tricked, spied on, or ridiculed", or that their food is being poisoned.[2][3] They are also often seen in schizoaffective disorder and, as recognized by DSM-IV-TR, constitute the cardinal feature of the persecutory subtype of delusional disorder, by far the most common. Delusions of persecution may also appear in manic and mixed episodes of bipolar disease, polysubstance abuse, and severe depressive episodes with psychotic features, particularly when associated with bipolar illness.

I'm annoyed by how flippantly a faculty member and medical student are responding to someone else's concern. I'm not trying to sound self-pitying but my concerns are very real.

But I can't say I'm surprised. I've grown disillusioned with the field of healthcare. It is so rife with hypocrisy from people lacking the same empathy they proclaim to champion.

I really hope the OP has lucid periods where he/she can recognize the need for help and has the ability to seek it.

Of course they are real to you. That's the whole point. No one is ridiculing you, just trying to point out what we see clearly. Don't make a website part of your persecution fantasy. Get to some mental health care, and fast.
