Many junior doctors experience bullying

Many junior doctors in the United Kingdom experience bullying during training. Of 594 doctors surveyed, 37% reported being bullied in the past year. Black and Asian doctors were more likely to be bullied than white doctors, and women were more likely to report bullying than men. Quine (p 878) says that although these findings should be interpreted cautiously, the disturbingly high levels of bullying and mistreatment during training are part of many junior doctors' perceptions and experiences.
