Key Points

  • A high prevalence of both verbal and physical sexual harassment was reported by physicians and medical students in Switzerland, particularly affecting women.
  • 74% of female physicians reported verbal sexual harassment, compared to 38% of male physicians, highlighting significant gender disparities.
  • Descriptive analyses utilized secondary data from a web-based survey, and Chi-square tests were employed for gender comparisons.
  • Identifying barriers to reporting and prevention may improve healthcare work environments in Switzerland and enhance overall physician well-being.
