‘When I stood up for something it's because I felt a… moral violation’: Trainees' acts of resistance against social harm and injustice

Abstract

As medical students around the world enter their chosen profession, they inherit a system that they did not design nor create, yet are still responsible for it. This system is rooted in centuries of social harm and inequity. This study examines trainees' professional acts of resistance to understand what trainees hope to accomplish in their resistance efforts, why they are resisting, and the tactics they use.
