Course Description: Sexual health problems are prevalent among people with a chronic illness and/or injury. Sexual health in the rehabilitation setting is a growing topic of interest and integrating sexual health in the overall care for rehabilitation patients has proven to be a challenge. This course will address the overarching view of sexuality in the United States, sexual health and physical medicine and rehabilitation teams approach for clients with a brain injury (BI) or a spinal cord injury (SCI). The importance of culture, its impact, and practicing cultural humility are discussed in this complex discussion.
 
Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
  1. Relate the history of the study of sexuality in the United States.
  2. Summarize where to locate resources, research and best practices for sexual health in rehabilitation.

  4. Explain two ways to integrate assessment and discussion of sexuality into rehabilitation after BI.
