Medical education relies heavily on the concept of preceptorships where each student shadows a physician observing the day-to-day practice of various medical specialties.  Experienced doctors can serve as models of professional, compassionate care, but they can also pass on bad habits.

When I speak to the “baby” docs at the American Medical Student Association’s 60th Annual Convention, I want to be able to them give examples of what works and what doesn’t work, when it comes to addressing sexual health, from a patient’s perspective.  Your voice has been the missing puzzle piece in training the next generation of doctors, until now.

Today’s question:  Have you had any positive interactions with a doctor around sexuality?  If so, what made it a good experience?  Describe a negative experience and how it could have been improved.
