'LONDON (Reuters) - Patients reluctant to have a medical student sit in on their consultation are less worried if the student is introduced as a "trainee" instead, a doctor wrote on Friday in Britain's leading medical journal.

Patients are much more willing to accept the presence of a "trainee doctor" or even a "student doctor" than a "medical student," Hany George El-Sayeh wrote in the British Medical Journal.

He said patients feared they would be seen by a scruffy, disinterested youth who might later report their intimacies in the bar. Describing a student as a trainee doctor would also heighten the youngster's esteem, he added. But trainees themselves ought to counter stereotypes by making a greater effort to appear interested, smart and punctual, he said.'




If I ever open up a General practice, I'm going to make all the possible patients do an IQ test first.

You simply can't escape the fact that a doctor sees someone with 3 balls, everyone will know about it with 2 days. Whether he's a first year med student or a 50 year old doctor.

Trainee Doctor / Medical Student

I actually would prefer a Trainee Doctor because it sounds like they know what there on about unlike a medical student who sounds like he/she has just become a nurse and is now going to do doctor work with no experience.

Indeed. A purely psychological reaction. But an understandable one. The idea or 'student' typically sounds unproffesional, un-trained, or learning. Trainee on the otherhand indicates prior training, proffessional knowlege and some clue as to what they are doing. But it is the same as I would rather see a trainee than a student, and would rather see a doctor than a trainee, and rather see a consultant than a doctor. Its all about rank and our innate schema. Or at least thats my take on things. Interessting, nethertheless.

I had to insult someone to fulfill my daily insult requirements, and so I chose the Great British public. Who ironically, aren't all that great.

Anyway: Even though I get what you're all saying, thats it a pschological deal, in realising that wouldn't you say "okay, its all in my head, i dont mind if i have a med student or a trainee doctor watching my examination"?

Well I dunno, it seems he joined the site, got mad at a girl, made a thread about all girls on the internet being mingers and followed girls around the forums trashing everything they said, was known to have made a molestering comment of some king and then says "I'm sorry" and we expect all to be forgeiven?
