Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Genitourinary Medicine
  • Sexual Health

Background:

  • Integrating genitourinary medicine and sexual health into undergraduate medical education is essential.
  • Problem-based learning (PBL) offers a novel framework for medical curricula.
  • Current undergraduate courses may not adequately emphasize sexual health's educational potential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the significance of genitourinary medicine in a new problem-based medical undergraduate curriculum.
  • To outline the benefits of using a consensus group for defining learning objectives in an integrated course.

Main Methods:

  • Convened a sexual health expert group, including a genitourinary specialist, curriculum facilitator, diverse professionals, and a medical student.
  • The group met three times for 1.5-hour sessions.
  • Utilized a consensus group method to identify learning objectives.

Main Results:

  • Learning objectives for sexual health were identified and categorized by course themes.
  • The relevance of objectives within an integrated, problem-based learning curriculum combining basic and clinical sciences was discussed.
  • Essential communication skills for taking a sexual history and attitudes were emphasized.
  • Connections between sexual health and other PBL curriculum modules were detailed.
  • Learning methods, resources, and assessment strategies were outlined.

Conclusions:

  • Sexual health and behavior possess significant educational value as a core topic for innovative integrated courses.
  • The importance of sexual health in undergraduate medical education warrants greater recognition.
