Summary This study proposes new ways of evaluating medical school sex education curricula which may be used not only to determine the best educational methods, but also to understand what skills and competence are important for a doctor to have in order to assist patients with their sexual problems. Since present evaluation tools are limited, the theoretical base from which human sexuality programmes are developed is based on unsupported personal judgment. Good research with improved techniques is a requisite for improving this situation.
