Sexual problems in men and women are common; and physicians endorse many barriers to addressing these issues, including lack of knowledge about the diagnosis and management of sexual problems and inadequate training in sexual health communication and counseling.
To update the recommendations published in 2004, from the International Consultation on Sexual Medicine (ICSM) relevant to the educational aspects of sexual health in undergraduate, graduate, and postgraducate medical education.
A third international consultation in collaboration with the major sexual health organizations assembled over 186 multidisciplinary experts from 33 countries into 25 committees. Three experts from three countries contributed to this committee's review of Education in Sexual Medicine.
Expert opinion was based on a comprehensive review of the medical literature, committee discussion, public presentation, and debate.
A comprehensive review about the current state of undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate sexual health education worldwide is provided. Recommendations about ideal sexual health curricula across training levels are provided. Best methods for achieving optimal training approaches to sexual health communication and interviewing, clinical skills and management, and counseling are described.
Current sexual health education for undergraduate and practicing physicians is inadequate to meet the advancing science and technology and increasing patient demand for high-quality sexual health care. There is a need for enhanced training in medical institutions responsible for physician sexual health training worldwide. Future training programs at all levels of medical education should incorporate standardized measures of sexual health clinical skills acquisition and assessments of the impact on patient outcomes into the design of educational initiatives.
男性和女性的性问题很常见；医生承认存在许多障碍来解决这些问题，包括缺乏对性问题的诊断和管理的了解，以及在性健康沟通和咨询方面的培训不足。
更新 2004 年国际性医学咨询（ICSM）发布的建议，涉及本科、研究生和研究生医学教育中性健康教育的教育方面。
第三次国际咨询与主要性健康组织合作，从 33 个国家召集了 186 多名多学科专家组成 25 个委员会。来自三个国家的三位专家为这个委员会审查性医学教育做出了贡献。
专家意见基于对医学文献的全面审查、委员会讨论、公开陈述和辩论。
提供了关于全球本科、研究生和研究生性健康教育现状的全面审查。提供了关于跨培训水平理想性健康课程的建议。描述了实现最佳性健康沟通和访谈、临床技能和管理以及咨询培训方法的最佳方法。
目前对本科和执业医生的性健康教育不足以满足不断发展的科学技术和患者对高质量性健康护理的日益需求。需要在负责全球医生性健康培训的医疗机构中加强培训。未来各级医学教育的培训计划都应将性健康临床技能获取的标准化措施以及对患者结果的影响评估纳入教育计划的设计中。
