title: Student mistreatment in medical school and planning a career in academic medicine.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Student mistreatment in medical school is a persistent problem with both known and unexplored consequences [corrected].
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to determine whether a perception of having been mistreated in medical school had an association with planning a full-time career in academic medicine.
  
  
  METHODS
  Using Association of American Medical Colleges' 2000-2004 Medical School Graduation Questionnaire data, we evaluated the relationship between students' mistreatment experience and their career choice, academic versus nonacademic setting. Meta-analysis and regression were used to evaluate this relationship.
  
  
  RESULTS
  At medical schools where relatively high percentages of graduating seniors were planning academic careers, students reporting mistreatment experiences were less likely at graduation to be planning careers in academic medicine.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A perception of having been mistreated in medical school is related to students' career choices, a finding that may be useful to medical school administrators/faculty and students as mistreatment is addressed in program planning, counseling, and faculty recruitment.
