[Comment on the article "Workplace violence as a predictor of suicidal ideation in undergraduate internal physicians"].

The purpose of this letter to the editor is to emphasize the importance of the work of the Ayala-Burboa MO et al. group, on the serious impact that workplace violence can generate, focusing especially on undergraduate medical interns. The results obtained are also reviewed to finally emphasize the need to have effective programs to assess physicians who suffer the consequences of carrying out their daily work in adverse conditions generated by the violence to which they are subjected.
