While healthcare facilities are often seen as sanctuaries for healing, violence in the workplace remains an urgent issue. In a 2022 poll, approximately 85% of emergency physicians surveyed said violence in emergency departments (ED) has increased, and two-thirds said they have been assaulted in the past year. Another analysis found that on average, 57 nurses are assaulted every day in the U.S. This issue spans across healthcare settings and specialties.

In this live discussion, experts will address the rising rates of violence in the healthcare workplace, sharing their personal experiences and exploring solutions for a safer environment.
