You're just embarking in your medical career.
voice-verified
How many of your female peers do you think have experiences like these?
voice-verified
Christine, I wanted to ask you about the fear of repercussion of surgical trainees reporting bad behaviour.
voice-verified
That was certainly a theme that came up in Rhea's research, and you'll no doubt recall, I think it was in 2015 when Dr.
voice-verified
Gabrielle McMullen, a leading Sydney surgeon, essentially said that complaining about sexual harassment could ruin a trainee's career.
voice-verified
So she was talking about the case of a female neurosurgical trainee
voice-verified
Was being repeatedly asked to go into the rooms of her mentor, a male senior surgeon at night.
voice-verified
When she finally did, he attempted to sexually assault her and she rebuffed his advances, and in response, he started to give her bad reports.
voice-verified
Dr.
voice-verified
McMullen said in that instance that the trainee would have been better to give him a blowjob than make a complaint.
voice-verified
Obviously, at the time, that rightfully caused quite a stir, but the research showed.
voice-verified
That this kind of fear of repercussion is still one of the reasons why women are not speaking up.
voice-verified
Is there a problem in how trainees are able to report complaints?
voice-verified
Is there though a sense do you think amongst and and maybe Josephine, this is a question for you, do you think there is a sense amongst young trainees that there is kind of a attitude of put your head down and get on with the job and put up with whatever behaviour you're encountering because part of training is to kind of toughen you up a little bit?
voice-verified
And Christine, on the back of the expert advisory group that was set up following those kind of revelations of bullying and belittling in surgical practice, what are some of the other things that the college has put in place to address some of these kind of gender based issues?
voice-verified
Okay, Rhea, I wanna um come back to the paper.
voice-verified
You talk about the research kind of suggests that the solution to some of these issues is to create interventions that actually don't focus unduly on gender.
voice-verified
Why is that?
voice-verified
Do you feel like there's been somewhat of a cultural shift and that things are moving in a positive direction?
voice-verified
Absolutely there has been.
