The 2025 ISSM/SMSNA Sub-Saharan Africa Training Program in Oncosexology!
Building on the 2023 and 2024 programs, during which sexual health education in cancer was paired with case discussions, in 2025, participants have another opportunity to observe examples of sexual health care as it is practiced and discuss how they might approach such care in their own settings. The sessions will include lectures, case discussions and patient testimonies. This program is offered to all oncology providers (eg., medical and radiation oncologists, urologists, nurses, psychologists, social workers, educators, physical therapists, psychiatrists and trainees), patients and family members. This program is sponsored by the International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM), the Sexual Medicine Society of North America (SMSNA) in partnership with the Department of Urology, Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, the Ghana Association of Urological Surgeons and the Department of Surgery, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana.
