Sexual harassment from patient to medical student: a cross-sectional survey.

Background: There is little existing research investigating SH/SA specifically from patients to students. This study aims to assess the prevalence and impact of SH and SA from patient to medical student.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey study was administered via electronic email list to all current medical students at the University of Washington School of Medicine (n = 1183) over a two-week period in 2019.

Prevalence of sexual harassment and sexual assault from patient to provider among women in dermatology and across specialties.

Background: Sexual harassment (SH) includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and hostile conduct that targets someone based on gender and overlaps with some types of sexual assault (SA). SH/SA in health care can occur between providers or between patient and provider. Most studies of SH in medicine focus on SH perpetrated by one health care provider against another, with very few studies examining SH from patient to provider.

The spectrum of nephrocutaneous diseases and associations: Inflammatory and medication-related nephrocutaneous associations.

There are a significant number of dermatoses associated with renal abnormalities and disease, and dermatologists need to be keenly aware of their presence in order to avoid overlooking important skin conditions with potentially devastating renal complications. This review discusses important nephrocutaneous disease associations and recommendations for the appropriate urgency of referral to nephrology colleagues for diagnosis, surveillance, and early management of potential renal sequelae. Part II of this 2-part continuing medical education article addresses inflammatory and medication-related nephrocutaneous associations.

Using the Physician Global Assessment in a clinical setting to measure and track patient outcomes.

Importance: In dermatology, the development of objective, standardized quality measures that can be used in a clinical setting is important to be able to respond to the needs of payers and credentialing and licensure bodies and to demonstrate dermatologic value.

Objective: To examine the feasibility of using Physician Global Assessment (PGA) scores to collect and track patient acne and psoriasis outcomes over time.

Design, Setting, And Participants: The PGA severity scores were included on physicians' billing sheets for patients with acne and psoriasis seen at a tertiary care center outpatient dermatology clinic from June 2011 through October 2012.
