Abstract
An increasing number of reports of sexual harassment in the workplace and medical education is challenging the current state of medical education and healthcare. The trauma and long-term consequences of sexual harassment are well documented, yet the issue of sexual harassment has been overlooked mainly in healthcare, leading to a culture of silence and a lack of meaningful and practical solutions. These dynamics represent a significant crisis. This chapter examines the prevalence of sexual harassment in parthe healthcare and medical education workplace and explores the need for innovative solutions and prevention strategies. The chapter concludes by discussing potential innovative solutions and prevention strategies developed by a management consulting group at Sunshine Health Regional Hospital and Medical Education Training Center, which has experienced a sexual harassment crisis. The intent is to find innovative solutions to influence the world of practice.
