ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To develop a better understanding of the strengths and deficiencies of female sexual health education and the attitudes toward female sexual health amongst urology, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, and family medicine trainees. Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is characterized as distress related to sexual pain, interest/arousal, or orgasm. Despite the high prevalence of FSD there are few clinical resources available for patients and providers in Canada.METHODS:
An anonymous online survey explored trainee knowledge of, and experiences with, female sexual dysfunction. Questions regarding male sexual dysfunction (MSD) were included as a comparison.RESULTS:
One hundred and fourteen residents participated in the survey and 107 were included in the final analysis. Respondents receive significantly more teaching and exposure to MSD compared to FSD in medical school and residency (when obstetrics and gynecology excluded). Ninety-six percent of respondents agreed that FSD is an important educational topic in residency, while only 12% felt their residency program provides adequate teaching and exposure to FSD.CONCLUSIONS:
Although physician trainees recognize the importance of education related to FSD, the majority report little time being allocated to it in their training programs.
