Sexual Harassment Prevention Training (2026 Renewal Requirement)
Length: 1 Hour
Illinois law requires licensed professionals, including physicians licensed under the Medical Practice Act, to complete at least one hour of continuing education in sexual harassment prevention training each licensure period. The law intends to prevent hostile, intimidating, or offensive work environments by prohibiting sexual harassment among colleagues and staff. (This law refers to employment-related conduct, as distinct from a breach of sexual boundaries between clinician and patient, addressed in the Medical Practice Act and Rules.)
In this course, Austin Monroe, JD will cover the legal aspects and how a physician should best design appropriate sexual harassment prevention policies to protect themselves, their employees, and their practice. This course is your simple, effective, relevant, and legal method to meet the requirement AND protect your practice.
Additionally, the course will specifically cover these required portions for sexual harassment prevention:
- What is sexual harassment, including its forms and types;
- What should one do if one experiences or witnesses unwelcome sexual contact;
- Reporting sexual harassment within one's place of employment and to outside entities, such as the Illinois Department of Human Rights; and
- Whistleblower protections.
This course originally presented on June 4, 2024, meets the CME requirements for Sexual Harassment Prevention Training for your 2026 renewal and is sponsored by Brenner, Monroe, Scott, and Anderson, Ltd.
