Abstract

A study of senior medical students indicated that nearly half experienced anxiety or conflict in at least one category of sexual behavior This anxiety, combined with a lack of knowledge, resulted in a sense of inadequacy about their ability to treat the sexual problems of their patients in a medical practice. The authors recommend small group seminars as the most appropriate method for sex education of medical students.
