Bullying of trainees put patient safety at risk.

"Bullying of trainees puts patient safety at risk."

Meeting with training officers, we discuss that it is important to protect the mental health of our trainees. It is our duty to create an enabling environment for learning, and for providing quality public service to our patients.  Anger and hot tempers serve no purpose in training.  Public humiliation reduces a trainee's credibility.  Loss of confidence disables the trainee to care for the patients. The trainer should uplift the trainee and build confidence and inspire the trainee to study as hard as possible.  The trainee does not only study for exams.  The trainee should study for that moment when what the trainee has studied spells the difference between the life and death of a patient.
