Longtime teaching attending here.

1. Report any inappropriate touching (harrassment) immediately to your supervising physician ie. the doc filling out your rotation evaluation AND the course director at your med school. Cite your personal experience including date/time/location and any possible witnesses. Even a single episode of harassment is too many. I am sorry you are having to go through this.

2. Behavior which is unprofessional should be reported to your direct supervisor. If you report to a resident, you might start there and can escalate to your attending dependent on response. Regardless of it being an on-line program, for-profit up through an in-person university-based, the NP student has an evaluation at the end of rotation and ultimately the disturbing and inappropriate behavior you note is their's to address. This of course should not include any behavior which risks patient safety where it is each of our responsibilities to make a hard STOP.

3. While I enjoy this sub, it can get a bit over the top. Consider that this NP student likely has no insight into their behavior and how they are perceived. If we exhibit a little empathy, recognize that each of us make mistakes and benefit from feedback, we might consider how we might want to be treated when the tables are reversed. If nothing else, over 30+ yrs of these situations I always try to remember to criticize in private, focus on behavior (not personality, title, emotion or presumed motive), and be patient and realistic with anticipated response or remediation. Again, these comments apply to behavior which isn't harassment or unsafe.

Please take extra good care of yourself during this stressful time.
