The 2023 ISSM/SMSNA Sub-Saharan Africa Training Program in Oncosexology!

The International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM), the Kenya Society for Hematology and Oncology (KESHO), and the Sexual Medicine Society of North America (SMSNA) have partnered to build on the educational programs on sexual medicine and sexual health, brought to Kenya and East Africa in 2019 and 2021, by offering a 9-month training program designed for clinicians in cancer care who wish to address sexual health with their cancer patients. 

The ISSM/KESHO/SMSNA Sub-Saharan Africa Training Program in Oncosexology was aimed to equip multidisciplinary clinicians in cancer care with baseline skills to start conversations with patients and their partners about the impact of cancer on their sexuality and about rehabilitation. The goal of the program was to help individuals and couples coping with cancer restore the ability to have satisfying sexual lives. The program has been delivered by international faculty with expertise in sexual health and by African faculty with additional knowledge of cultural issues that impact sexual health.
