Abstrakt: The extent of physician/patient sexual involvement is difficult to determine. Other types of sexual boundary violations involving physicians are equally difficult to determine. Reports of incidents of sexual involvement between physician and patient range in the 3-to-10 percent range. The range of severity and the complexity of sexual misconduct make simple solutions impossible. It is imperative that physician health programs and state medical boards develop individualized responses to this problem. In some situations, following an in-depth assessment, an educational program may be appropriate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
