Sexual Dysfunction Training for Men and Women

The Los Angeles session on June 26, 2027 will be held at the host venue in Los Angeles. This one‑day workshop focuses on the clinical evaluation of sexual dysfunction in adult men and women. Participants will review current diagnostic criteria, epidemiology, and the impact of comorbid medical and psychiatric conditions. The curriculum emphasizes a systematic history, targeted physical examination, and appropriate use of validated questionnaires. Emphasis is placed on distinguishing organic from psychogenic contributors and on integrating findings into a comprehensive treatment plan. Case examples illustrate common presenting complaints and guide decision‑making. The approach aligns with evidence‑based guidelines and supports shared decision making.

During the day clinicians engage in interactive case discussions, observe standardized patient encounters, and practice interview techniques that explore desire, arousal, orgasm, and pain domains. Small‑group skill stations allow participants to perform focused genital and pelvic examinations, interpret laboratory results, and select pharmacologic or behavioral interventions. The workshop includes a review of medication side‑effects, hormonal therapies, and referral pathways for multidisciplinary care. Attendees receive structured feedback on communication style and documentation practices.

This workshop is intended for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, psychologists, and other licensed clinicians who regularly see adult patients with sexual health concerns. It suits providers seeking to update their knowledge of current assessment tools and therapeutic options. The content is relevant to those working in primary care, urology, gynecology, endocrinology, psychiatry, and sexual health clinics. Participants will leave with practical algorithms that can be applied to diverse patient populations in their own practice settings.
