Course Description 

2.75 Contact Hours¹

This course is designed for pelvic health rehab clinicians to learn the most up-to-date information about cancer-related sexual dysfunction and how to best manage it. There are over 18 million cancer survivors in the U.S., and many will struggle with the side effects of cancer treatment for years beyond the completion of their cancer care. Cancer treatments can contribute to a variety of sexual impairments experienced both acutely and long-term, and pelvic health rehab clinicians have a crucial role in addressing these concerns.

Sexual loss is a significant theme for cancer survivors across all cancer types, genders, ages, sexual orientations, races, and ethnicities. Additionally, 60% of cancer survivors experience some type of long-term sexual dysfunction, but less than 25% are getting the help they need from their healthcare provider.

This self-paced course focuses on sexual health, the impact of different cancer treatments on sexual health, types of cancer-related sexual dysfunction, appropriate examination and evaluation, and interventions the rehab clinician can utilize with their patients. Additional specialized content includes sexual health considerations for Adolescent and Young Adult, Sexual and Gender Minority, and Racial and Ethnic Minority cancer survivors.

Learners' Insights

“I highly recommend Dr. Hill’s course on Helping Your Patients Navigate Sexual Health Dysfunction. It was comprehensive and flowed really well. This health concern for individuals who have had or are currently being treated for cancer is historically not addressed in a healthcare setting. Her presentation gives tools that make it easy to discuss with patients and provides valuable resources for them to support their journey to well-being.” K Lynne Odom, PT, MOMT

As an advanced practitioner, this course has helped me to feel more confident in serving patients with complex recovery following cancer treatment!” Lora Seacat, PT, DPT, PRPC, CSMT, CMTPT
