Exploring medical students' barriers to reporting mistreatment during clerkships: a qualitative study.

Background: Despite widespread implementation of policies to address mistreatment, the proportion of medical students who experience mistreatment during clinical training is significantly higher than the proportion of students who report mistreatment.
