cw: sexual harassment Show more
@patitsas I actually find that surprising, I would think academia would be like 5th or 6th, after IT, medicine, and government...but I can affirm that harassment and disparaging behavior can really undermine productivity and well-being. Hopeful the report will be a catalyst to some widespread positive change. As I understand it, patients can be a real problem for nursing & med students. 😒
