Abstract:
Harassment at work does not spare the medical community. At the origin of this problem, we find certain values, such as a high sense of self-sacrifice, asymmetrical relationships towards hierarchy, but also various organizational factors. The consequences are numerous, as much for the victim's health and career as for the institution itself and the quality of care provided. Various measures are being implemented to remediate such behaviors, such as awareness raising campaigns as well as better training of physicians with respect to professionalism and teamwork.
