Description

Medical students and residents learn by treating real patients, but patients can refuse them, and refusals skew what trainees get to practice. Sarah de Bever and four co-authors review the literature on how outpatients feel about trainee care in this 2025 paper. They searched four databases through April 2024.

Of nearly nine thousand studies found, thirty-eight qualified, most of them surveys, and the average quality score was low. Two themes ran through them: satisfaction and willingness. Satisfaction was strikingly high, often above ninety percent, and most patients reported having accepted a trainee. Yet acceptance varied, and the review maps the factors that sway it. The authors aim the findings at clinics that want patients to welcome the doctors of tomorrow.
