HEALTHCARE | Case Study: Responding to Physician Misconduct
The Client
A state medical board
The Challenge
After multiple public reports of sexual abuse by a physician, a state medical board reached out to RAINN for support in improving its response to additional disclosures and better understanding the issue of sexual misconduct in healthcare.
The Solution
RAINN Consulting Group partnered with the board to deliver trauma-informed training for members, investigators, and staff. Sessions included: how trauma affects survivor behavior; how to assess misconduct reports with fairness and neutrality; how to recognize grooming tactics and power-based exploitation; and how to strengthen professional boundaries in clinical settings. These efforts helped improve both internal procedures and external trust.
