On June 25 and 26, 2018, Health Care Co-Chair Robin Locke Nagele co-presented, "Sexual Harassment by Physicians: Implications on Medical Staff Privileges, Licensure, and Physician Practices," at the American Health Lawyers Association's (AHLA) 2018 In-House Counsel Program & Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL. 

In the #MeToo era, it is more important than ever for hospitals, health systems, and practice groups to develop strong and balanced policies and procedures for addressing complaints of sexual harassment/misconduct. This session, offered from 4:30 to 5:30 pm CT on Monday, June 25th and Tuesday, June 26th, explored:

  • The incidence of reported and unreported sexual harassment by physicians and its impact on staff morale and quality of care.
  • The intersection of employment, medical staff, professional board, and criminal law mandates.
  • Managing the legal risks–Title VII, Title IX, Section 1981, defamation, contract, tortious interference, civil rights, and antitrust claims.
  • Effective policies, procedures, and training to ensure complaints of sexual harassment/misconduct are appropriately raised and addressed.
  • Public relations, crisis management, and reporting obligations.
