Deep Dive into Dyspareunia: a multidisciplinary workshop on sexual pain

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Monash University have developed a new 1 day live, online course on managing sexual pain. In this course we have the opportunity to dive deeper into the breadth and complexities of helping people who are experiencing painful sex.
 
The morning will include 30 minute presentations from our multidisciplinary faculty of speakers (GP, Gynaecologist, Vulval Dermatologist, Sexual Medicine Specialist and Sexual & Relationship Therapist, Physiotherapist, Pain Specialist and Psychologist) with Q&A. The afternoon will be interactive case discussions including cases across the lifespan, inclusive of diversity of gender, sexual orientation, relationship status & structure, culture, and clinical features.

Course Aim: This workshop will cover the assessment and management of patients presenting with sexual pain from a bio-psycho-socio-cultural and multidisciplinary perspective.

• Demonstrate an ability to take a comprehensive history to clarify the aetiological factors contributing to painful sex in
  the presenting client.
