<p>Bullying behaviors may undermine ethical standards in clinical education. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of bullying behaviors in university-affiliated hospitals and to identify the characteristics of victims and perpetrators.This cross-sectional study was conducted among undergraduate medical students during the autumn of 2022. Data were collected using a validated and reliable researcher-designed questionnaire that assessed demographic characteristics, experiences with different types of bullying, perceived perpetrators, inquiries about seeking support, and awareness of preventive policies.Among the 297 participants (response rate: 72.4%; mean age: 24.50 ± 1.36 years; females: 65.3%; interns: 46.8%), 90.6% reported experiencing at least one form of bullying during clinical training. The most frequently reported types of bullying were psychological (81.1%), behavioral (80.5%), and verbal (61.3%). Internship and a self-declared history of psychological problems were associated with higher reports of bullying (P-value &lt; 0.05). Residents (93.7%) and clinical faculty members (91.4%) were most commonly identified as perpetrators. These findings indicate that bullying in clinical education is a significant ethical issue that may undermine professional development and respectful clinical practice.The results underscore the need for ethically grounded institutional interventions to prevent mistreatment and support the students at risk.</p>
