Sexual boundary violations in the physician-patient relationship.
Sexual misconduct with a patient violates the physician-patient relationship. Such behavior maybe an isolated event in the professional life of a physician, but more frequently is part of a pattern of predatory behavior. Such behavior on the part of any physician adversely affects all physicians and the public welfare.
