Sexual harassment is a pervasive issue in workplaces, including academic medicine and healthcare facilities. Legislation exists to combat this unacceptable practice, yet surveys reveal its prevalence in the healthcare sector. Sexual harassment comes in various forms, from unwanted advances to gender-based discrimination, affecting worker wellness and patient care delivery. Mental health repercussions and staff turnover are common consequences. Training and preventive measures are crucial for recognizing and addressing sexually offensive behaviors.
