NEEDS ASSESSMENT
From Nov 2008-May 2010, I presented 13 one day (6 credits) workshops throughout the US. Participants included medical, nursing and mental health professionals. For some, it was their first sexuality training; others were seasoned clinicians or educators who wanted to update their knowledge; and many wanted to integrate or add sexuality education, counseling and therapy to their practice.

I expanded this training to a 2 day format as a direct result of the evaluations I received from the participants. In a 6 hour workshop, I barely covered the very basics of sexual anatomy, physiology and the medical/health factors that affect sexual function. The evaluations were clear there was a need to expand on the basics as well as cover the diagnosis and treatment strategies for sexual problems using this information. This 2 day training will be intensive and offer 12 AASECT CE credits that can be used for certification or recertification. Many state licensing boards will accept AASECT credits for license renewal. Please check with your own board for verification.

WORKSHOP INFORMATION
This is a 2 day training for a total of 12 AASECT CE credits. Each 6 hour workshop is from 8:30AM-4:30PM with an hour for lunch (on your own). The workshop will present the basics of sexual anatomy and physiology and a variety of medical and health factors that affect sexual function. The perspective for both topics is to teach the participant how to integrate this knowledge into an educational or therapeutic setting.

Day 1 AM Session will cover the basics of human sexual anatomy and physiology and the male and female response cycles. Participants will be introduced to the core content that will provide a foundation for knowledge in male and female sexual functioning.The PM session will cover the basics of how medical and health factors affect sexual function. Topics to be included are illness, disability, medications, hormonal regulation, pregnancy and pregnancy termination, contraception, fertility and sexually transmitted diseases.

Day 2 AM Session will focus on diagnosis and treatment of male and female sexual issues. The PM session will focus on how to integrate the basics of anatomy, physiology, medical and health factors into your current educational or therapeutic setting.
