Radiology, Sexual Harassment, and the #MeToo Movement

Maria Braileanu et al. Acad Radiol. 2021 Apr.

Abstract

The rise of the #MeToo movement has sparked renewed conversations about sexual harassment in the workplace. All medical fields, including radiology, can benefit from reflecting on workplace culture, reviewing policies, and committing to change. This review provides an overview of the #MeToo movement, describes the prevalence of sexual harassment in medicine and radiology, summarizes barriers to reporting incidents of sexual harassment, evaluates the backlash to the #MeToo movement, and discusses policies and procedures to aid in preventing sexual harassment in the #MeToo era.

Keywords: #Metoo; #Wetoo; Radiology; Sexual harassment.
