It also examines the prevalence and impact of sexual harassment in residency training programs through a self-administered questionnaire. Results show that psychological abuse, discrimination on the basis of gender and sexual harassment are commonly experienced by residents in training programs. A direct, progressive, multidisciplinary approach is needed to label and address these problems.
