EXCERPTS FROM THE RCPS REPORT (A word about intimidation)
As defined by the (Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada) working group on intimidation in postgraduate medical education, intimidation is any behaviour, process, or tradition that is likely, on reasonable grounds, to induce unwarranted fear or to have a detrimental effect on the learning environment. The most common type of infraction appears to be intimidation of residents by faculty members, because of lack of awareness by perpetrators that their behaviour is inappropriate.
Specific examples of intimidation include: making unfair work demands; disallowing participation in learning experiences; verbal abuse in the form of shouting, swearing, ridiculing, or disparaging remarks, names, or labels; unfair grading or other reprisals for negative feedback; and sexual harassment or abuse.
Such behaviour cannot be tolerated under any circumstances, including within the setting of our postgraduate residency education program. Our Residency Program Committee works to ensure exemplary standards on the part of the educators and to resolve any behaviour issues and conflicts. Any staff who do not meet the standards as evaluated by the Residency Program Committee will not be allowed to interact in the resident's functions and activities. Increased awareness both on the part of the resident and educator are essential in preventing such circumstances,
