Addressing Sexual Harassment in Radiology
Anastasia Hryhorczuk, M.D., assistant clinical professor of radiology at Michigan Medicine, discusses, during RSNA 2020, the challenges that face radiology with sexual harassment and some strategies to eliminate it.
Sexual harassment -- while it historically has mainly affected women -- can affect anyone in radiology. It creates uncomfortable work environment, stress, and, sometimes, it can negatively impact career paths.

Diagnostic Imaging spoke with Hryhorczuk about the specifics of what providers can do and what stumbling blocks exist to reaching this goal.
