Abstract
Although it is well known that an atmosphere of respect and confidence favors learning, mistreatment continues being a frequent behavior in the medical schools. This conduct is usually accepted and justified at all the levels of medical practice, and it is considered an inherent behavior in the hospital culture.
This article reviews mistreatment in medical education and puts in evidence the lack of professor’s education in pedagogy and didactics as well as the characteristics of the clinical setting as two possible causes of its perpetuation.
