Inhalt: Female physicians and healthcare professionals experience many sex-related adversities. According to a
recent report from the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM), the prevalence
of sexual harassment in academic medicine is almost double that in other engineering or science fields.1 An estimated 30–70% of female physicians report that they have experienced sexual harassment in the medical workplace.2 As explained in the NASEM report, sexual harassment can range from a single comment to direct sexual overtures. Other hurtful comments, many
of which are unintentional, also are common and are
referred to as “micro-aggressions” or “microinequities.”
Such behavior is exhibited primarily, although
not solely, by men and is predominantly directed at
women.1
