Video Summary

Sydney Brown, an OMIS 3 student at William Carey University's College of Osteopathic Medicine, investigates academic entitlement (AE) in medical students. AE is defined as expecting academic success without personal responsibility. The study, previously done with pharmacy students, uses two validated instruments in a survey to assess AE in osteopathic students. Findings show students with lower GPAs are more likely to exhibit entitlement, potentially affecting their peer relationships and professionalism. The research suggests early identification and intervention, urging faculty to monitor students' grades and behaviors to mitigate adverse academic and professional impacts.
