Are there special considerations when wiring for a light fixture in the bathroom?

I mean, as opposed to a light fixture in the kitchen or somewhere with less humidity.

The bathroom needs GFCI protection/ Light switch needs to be chest high and close to the opening of the door. Electric receptacles with GCFI protection should be on a seperate circuit. the light and fan should be on a seperate circuit. If the GFCI receptacle is near the sink it will trip if it gets wet to prevent electrocuted.
