Sexological complaints remain "invisible" at appointments: patients are embarrassed, and the physician lacks the tools and language for the conversation. The course combines gynecology with the fundamentals of sexology and the psychology of communication, so you will learn to identify sexual dysfunctions and build a trusting dialogue.

As a result, you will more confidently help patients with sensitive issues, broaden the scope of your care, and strengthen women's trust in you as a specialist.
