|
|
A. Professor Dennis K. Lin |
The presentation focuses on how sexology and psychosexual medicine education can be integrated into psychiatry residency training. The Psychosexual Medicine Program currently being implemented at Beth Israel Medical Center, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences in New York City, USA will be described. Psychiatry residents from Beth Israel Medical Center will discuss their experiences learning sexology under the Psychosexual Medicine Program.
An argument will be made why it is important to teach sexology in psychiatry residency training and how psychiatrists are uniquely positioned to be the best sexologists. It will be recommended that sexology education become an integrated part of psychiatry residency training everywhere in the USA and the world.
