Serve Coffee, Hold Clamps, Do Not Complain: Student Perceptions and Experiences Regarding Surgery
Stereotypes of surgeons and the surgical clerkship are strongly prevalent among medical students. Half of the students enter the surgery clerkship with negative perceptions. Fortunately, the surgery clerkship debunked prejudices and increased interest in surgery. Poor supervision and feedback during the surgery clerkship were experienced as negative treatment, emphasizing the importance of cultivating a safe learning climate.
