Healthcare professionals lack training on professional behaviors and sexual boundary issues. Results from several reports indicate, “the number of physicians struggling with sexual boundary problems appears to be 3-10% (Swiggart and Starr, 2002) of the U.S. physician population. Physicians are not familiar with the FSMB Guidelines addressing sexual boundaries. Participants who attend the course come with little training in sexual impropriety, misconduct, and sexual harassment. Most physicians are referred by regulatory bodies or employers for unprofessional conduct related to sexual boundaries. Course participants will learn new skills and be better prepared to recognize the potential for sexual boundary violations and adhere to the current rules related to appropriate professional conduct in their individual practices to avoid future difficulties. Physicians will learn the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) Guidelines and other professional codes of conduct for addressing sexual boundaries.
