Medical education too: sexual harassment within the educational context of medicine - insights of undergraduates.

ABSTRACT:

Assessment of the presence and characteristics of sexual harassment in academic medicine is a global issue. Only limited international data are available so far.

Methods

Aim: To assess the extent of sexual harassment and identify the perpetrators in the student population of the medical school of Münster, Germany. A survey was undertaken, using the Medical Women's International Association sexual harassment questionnaire translated into German. The anonymous online questionnaire was sent as a link to all medical undergraduates at Münster Medical School via a mailing list between 1 October and 30 November 2018. Identifying or potentially identifying data were not collected. Data were analysed by descriptive statistical methods such as categorical variables. Baselin
