An important study of 547 graduates of an executive women’s leadership training program. Spoiler alert- the numbers are high!!  85% of women reported mistreatment during their careers, and 65.6% had experienced bullying while serving as an attending physician. While most of the bullying came from men, 65% also reported bullying from women, who were often their immediate supervisors. Many had to change roles or leave their jobs.
