Abstract
We report on the Sexual Health Curriculum Enhancement project at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. Using a $100 000 grant from Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, Inc., we have developed and are in the process of implementing a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary and innovative curriculum that is based on three primary objectives for teaching sexual health: attitude change, behavior change, and knowledge acquisition. Five general strategies to incorporate specific sexual health content into the medical school curriculum have been implemented: (1) Faculty Development; (2) Additional Didactics; (3) Cased-Based Learning; (4) Testing and Assessment; and (5) Electronic (Computer/Web-Based Enhancements).
