Although most teachers realised that students generally did not like being humiliated, ignored, or otherwise disrespected, some teachers mainly white men described how they could behave antagonistically towards students they thought were not making sufficient effort to learn box 1.

As well as having perceptions about good clinical students, clinical teachers had perceptions about Asian medical students. Students, including Asians, had similar perceptions. We present the way Asian medical students were described in terms of their relationship with books, with patients, and with teachers. In terms of their relationship with books, the typical Asian student was viewed as conscientious, hard working, and bright. Non Asian participants were more likely to qualify this picture with a flip side that being over reliant on books made the typical Asian student inflexible and less able to adapt to new ways of behaving. Thus it was perceived that although Asian students came to medical school with excellent examination results, learning the nebulous art of clinical medicine required flexible learning from novel situations, and that such students might struggle in these circumstances box 3.

I think, also with ethnic minorities in general they tend to study a lot. Which is fine, thats just the way the culture is, its more, especially if Im going laughs especially in Asian cultures And so when it comes to clinical setting they find it difficult student 2 male, AsianFrom personal experience one Indian student from the high achieving group believed that Asian students may have worked particularly hard at school, and would now do the minimum to pass medical school exams Instead of like, wanting to be the best I can be in the year like I did at school, Im more like well as long as I pass, thats all right And maybe thats like the attitude of I dunno Im saying, Im guessing, of a few, fair proportion of the non whites student K male, Indian high achieving groupIn terms of their relationships with patients, non Asian participants perceived the typical Asian student as a poor communicator, either because of varying degrees of linguistic problems for example, accent which allegedly made them feel under confident, or because they were culturally more formal than white students box 4. Box 4 Perceptions about the typical Asian medical students relationships with patients. Its much more common to come across an Asian student, even if theyre English born, that has formal relationships with patients than it is to find a, a white British born person having formal relationships with patients teacher 1.
