Call for Participants
The World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) has tasked the Professional Education in Sexology Ad Hoc Committee with conducting an world-wide accounting of programs for the education of professionals in sexology/sexual health. As such, the PES committee is launching a study in cooperation with the University of Agder, Norway, to survey programs focused on professional education for health professionals (as opposed to general education and sexual health promotion).
If you lead or direct such a program, you are eligible for participation. I am hoping you will complete the following brief survey (approximately 15 minutes) with information about your training program. In the future, we are hoping to offer a centralized location to list different programs available, which has the potential to increase awareness of your program internationally.
Here is the link to the survey:
We hereby invite you to contribute to the world of professional sexological education to improve sexual health for all!
Thank you,
