“Sexual harassment and sexual assault are illegal, deeply traumatic and profoundly unprofessional. However, given the ongoing harassment of medical students internationally, it is likely that this abuse is an entrenched part of medical culture. The cause is not simple, but we must heal ourselves. It is high time the profession critically examined this problem from multiple perspectives and provided a multifaceted, committed and evidence-based approach to changing this toxic culture.”
Dr Louise Stone is GP from Canberra a tireless champion for doctors’ health and wellbeing.
“Idealised notions of professionalism can act as obstacles to doctors responding to sexual abuse.”
