Junior doctors and medical students in England have voted to reject the contract that has been offered to them by the government.
British Medical Association members voted 58% to 42% against accepting the deal.
BMA leaders had urged members to accept the terms, which were announced in May after talks with the government resumed following six strikes.
BMA junior doctor leader Johann Malawana immediately resigned.
In a letter to members, Dr Malawana said the NHS was lurching "headlong into a wider crisis" that was of the government's making.
"I only hope that the next government realises that this vote is a demonstration of just how appalling frontline staff have been treated and undermined."
