Measuring the impact on medical students of participating in sexual health preclinical electives: perceptions, beliefs and comfort levels

Description

Abstract:
Sexual health counseling reduces adverse sexual health outcomes such as sexually transmitted infections (STI), yet rates of counseling by physicians are low and highly variable. Studies suggest this is due to inadequate training, provider discomfort, and insufficient time and resources. If training began earlier and included experiences discussing sexual health topics, perhaps comfort levels would rise among providers. This study examines how participating in preclinical electives related to sexual health topics impacts physicians-in-training.
