Key Points

To evaluate the impact of a multifaceted educational intervention on reducing gender insensitivity, sexual harassment, and discrimination in a medical school.
Implemented a comprehensive educational program targeting faculty and students at Stanford University School of Medicine to address gender issues.
Administered a five-scale environmental perception and sexual harassment survey to faculty members across two time points (1994 and 1995).
Faculty ratings demonstrated significant improvements in positive climate (p = .004) and institutional cohesion (p = .006).
Significant reductions occurred in perceived sexual harassment (p = .0006), gender insensitivity (p = .001), and gender discrimination (p = .004), accompanied by fewer direct observations of harassing conduct.
