As a practicing obstetrician/gynecologist for more than 18 years, I have realized the importance of sexual health as well as the embarrassing lack of training in this very important part of our patients' overall mental and physical health. If anyone should be expected to be not only comfortable but knowledgeable about sex, it should be us. Unfortunately, many of us had little or no education in sexual health during medical school or residency. I have been on a journey to educate myself so I might better help my patients.
