From the casting couch to the board room, the media, and beyond, the topic of sexual harassment and bullying can no longer be ignored. Sexual harassment and bullying in medicine has the potential to be the next big headline on these topics. The culture in medicine and especially the hierarchy in surgery often permit this behavior. To improve the culture in orthopaedic surgery regarding sexual harassment and bullying, education must occur. With education, comes acknowledgment and recognition. This permits an ability to act on and improve the culture. This paper will start the dialogue of this difficult topic and provide a call to action for sexual harassment and bullying to become "Never events".

Comprehensive and inclusive dating abuse prevention is hindered by a lack of research on proximal antecedents of cyber dating abuse (CDA) among lesbian, gay, bi-/pansexual, queer, and other nonheterosexual (LGBQ+) young adults. Guided by sexual minority stress and alcohol-related violence theories, we addressed this gap by examining whether (a) alcohol use preceded and was positively related to CDA perpetration and (b) more frequent LGBQ+-based discrimination strengthened this association.

The under-recruitment of historically marginalized populations into clinical trials thwarts equitable inclusion of individuals who could benefit from healthcare innovations and limits the generalizability of results. For decades, the Veterans Health Administration (VA) has conducted large clinical trials that impact clinical guidelines for veterans and civilians alike. Within the VA, women are a numeric minority, and recruitment of this population into trials is challenged by gender-specific care structures, distinct demographic characteristics, and mistreatment such as higher rates of military sexual trauma and harassment on VA grounds.
