I am actually involved with residents as their teacher. i keep comming across trainees who i cannot trust and wonder how long their behavoir has been developing.
The great majority of the trainees are excellent. I wonder, though, who is entering the medical system and what happens to the students going through their premed. and medical education.

Also by cheating i mean having questions prior to a test, being deceitful in reporting clinical actvities or avoiding work that other residents have to pick up, plagiarism, providing inacurate and damaging info. about fellow residents, etc..., just generally deceptive behavior.
As I mentioned, these instances are uncommon but are upsetting, and I am searching broadly for why a someone would behave like this.

It's safe to say that everyone has cheated in some form or another during their education. That kind of thing might not be a big deal in grade school or even high school, but cheating in college or medical school is a very bad idea.
If you get caught in med school that will probably be the end of your career, or at least it will be a big black mark that will hurt your chances of getting much farther in your career.
Remember, that Doctors are professionals, and above that, they are trusted with people's most intimate secrets and fears. Why should someone who has proven themselves to be dishonest be allowed to continue on that path?

Cheating wouldn't just end your medical career, but you will also be risking lives. If you dont know something and fail an exam then you deserve to be kicked out of medical school. Only the best of the best can become doctors and unfortunatly many very prospective students do not make it to become doctors. What happens if one day you have a patient that you have to decide which course of action to take but oh wait... you dont know, coz you cheated on your medical exams. well done, you've killed somebody becuase of your literal incompetence.

In Canada, medication is a submit-grad direction. You desire a bachelors earlier than you'll be able to practice to med institution. In the US, so much med colleges don't receive international expert candidates. I have no idea if that is the case for Canada, however whether it is, then your first-class alternative, if Canadian med institution is your target, is to switch to a bachelors in biology software at a Canadian uni, asap. Another alternative, that you recounted, is to get into the medication software at your present school. However, I have no idea if that might qualify you to train medication in Canada - you might have to determine.

Nope.
As professionals, we are held to a higher standard of conduct. Cheating in any form is not tolerated, and you'd be hard pressed to keep up the ruse. If you don't know your stuff, it'll be quite obvious.
What would you do, anyway? Label all your own body parts for an anatomy exam?

No!
If you cheat in medical school first of all you will probably get kicked out and second of all you are not doing anyone a favor.......Physicians are caring for patients and if they cheated then they cheated the patient in the long run.......

That would have defeated the point. You need the education and understanding of the topics, not just grades. Ignorance will come back to bite you in the butt too often in medicine as it is.

I havent cheated so far and just to warn you if you get caught cheating that will probably be the end of you medical career. A collegue of mine was kicked out of school for plaigarism. (copying someone elses ideas and using them as your own and not acknowledging the other person) once you get kicked out for that, you can't go back to any college or med school because it will be on your record.

If you have to cheat to get in medical school, you will not be there for very long... Do not waste your time!
