Sexual Diversity and Function Across Medical Disciplines

Catalog description

Focus is on development of personal and professional skills to interact with people across the diverse range of human sexuality, from childhood (pediatric) to older ages (geriatric), with consideration of gender identity, sexual orientation, sociocultural (predominantly U.S., not global) and religious values, and selected medical issues (e.g. hormonal therapy, disabilities, e.g. spinal cord injury, etc. with discussion of sexual taboos and unusual sexual practices that you might encounter in a general medical setting. For the 4th unit, students must also attend INDE 215 Queer Health and Medicine and complete the additional assignments for that section but do not enroll in that course.
