The current article aims, first, to review the current state of sexual health education in undergraduate medical curricula, identifying gaps, needs and challenges. The main part of this paper describes the development and content of an undergraduate sexual medicine curriculum based on a clear concept of the competencies students should learn regarding knowledge, skills and attitudes.\n                The content is based on a biopsychosocial understanding of human sexuality elaborated by international experts from different European countries integrating basic knowledge in biology, psychology, sociocultural and political sciences, preventive medicine, and the various therapeutic approaches to help women, men and couples with sexual health problems on a primary care level. In order to enable students to learn the  basic skills of sexual history taking and sexual basic counselling two educational videos were produced.\n                The material presented is part of the European Collaboration in Science and Technology (COST) supported project European Sexual Medicine Network (ESMN). The material provided can serve universities to give the training as a 25-30 hours course equivalent to 1 ECTS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/openreseurope.16146.2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,29]],"date-time":"2024-07-29T12:55:12Z","timestamp":1722257712000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.68336\/openreseurope.updatepolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A model curriculum in sexual medicine for undergraduate education in Europe"],"prefix":"10.68336","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0780-0209","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Carlo Matteo","family":"Di Dionisio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Endocrinology and Medical Sexology (ENDOSEX), Department of Systems Medicine, Universita degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata, Rome, Lazio, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Johannes","family":"Bitzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospital - Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Universitat Basel, Basel, Basel-Stadt, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-1404-3087","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Marianne","family":"Greil-Soyka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Austrian Academy for Sexual Medicine (OEASM), Salzburg, Austria, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"13904","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"36967","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41443-020-0299-4"},{"key":"36968","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.24001"},{"key":"36969","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/19325037.2001.10603498"},{"key":"36970","unstructured":"4.
