Purpose: Although the mistreatment of medical students is a well-researched topic, the scope of mistreatment often leaves out neglect, a subtype for which there is no accepted definition based in the published literature. This review sought to summarize the existing data on the prevalence and descriptors of neglect, identify strategies seen in the literature designed to improve it, and offer a synthesized definition of this phenomenon to guide future research.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a relevant systematic literature search from 2000 to April 2021 was performed to identify literature on neglect in clinical settings within American medical schools.
