Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This is a randomised controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of simulation (involving actors), an educational video and no intervention, as adjuncts to group discussion, on students' ability to identify and report intimidation. Medical students from the University of Montreal in Montreal, Canada, will be recruited at the beginning of surgical clerkship. They will complete a standardized and validated pre-intervention questionnaire on their experience with intimidation consisting of multiple choice questions and short answers. They will be randomised to one of the three interventions lasting 70 minutes that will be followed by a 20-minute standardized discussion on intimidation with all students participating together. At the end of their surgical rotation, they will complete a similar post-intervention questionnaire with additional questions pertaining to the reporting of intimidation.
Differences in intimidation reporting after the intervention as well as a before and after comparison of the "Negative Acts Questionnaire" score will be studied.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Simulation
During a suturing class at the simulation center, the students enter a classroom. Although the students are not aware of this, among them is an actor playing the role of a student. One of the two professors is also an actor. As the activity progresses, the professor targets the student played by an actor. The intimidation intensifies until the end. At the end of the activity, there is a debriefing explaining to the students that the bullying professor and the victim were actors.
Simulation
Students witness the intimidation of one of their peers (who is an actor) by a professor (also an actor). (see arm description)
Video
During a suturing class at the simulation center, after 55 minutes of suturing, the students will be exposed to a 15-minute video on workplace and hospital intimidation and how to manage it.
Video
Student watch a 15-minute intimidation video (see arm description).
Control
During a suturing class at the simulation center, the students suture for the entire 70-minute duration of the activity. They are not exposed to intimidation (control group).
Control group
No intervention. The students suture for 70 minutes
