Preventing Sexual Misconduct

Preventing Sexual Misconduct

At its core, medicine is built on trust. Patients come to us at their most vulnerable — and that vulnerability is something every physician has a responsibility to honor and protect.

Sexual misconduct in healthcare is a serious issue, and awareness is the first step toward prevention. Understanding what it looks like, how it can occur, and what your reporting obligations are helps create a safer environment for patients and providers alike.

This course is designed to support you in that effort. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of what constitutes sexual misconduct, learn practical ways to avoid even the appearance of impropriety, explore how to approach patient encounters with appropriate care and sensitivity, and walk away with five concrete strategies for reducing potential liability — and for reinforcing the kind of practice your patients deserve.

• Define “physician sexual misconduct”
