Surveys indicate that between 6% and 10% of psychiatrists report sexual contact with patients. Surveys also indicate that only a small minority of psychiatrists feel that they have received adequate teaching about this unethical behavior. Educational efforts aimed at reducing sexual exploitation of patients would be of value to trainees, patients, academic programs, and the profession. The authors report their experience with a pilot 6-session course for residents, and a longer model course is outlined. Such education should be mandatory in U.S. residencies. Mandated instruction would be consistent with both the high priority training directors have reported placing on the subject of sexual misconduct in ethics teaching, and with the widespread calls for increased education on this important subject.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes abnormal liver function, the development of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease features and metabolic impairment in patients. Experimental models also demonstrate acute and chronic changes in the liver that may, in turn, affect SCI recovery. These changes have collectively been proposed to contribute to the development of a SCI-induced metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
