Dear young sexual health clinician,

Tired being a lonely wolf in your field and totally in need of some doze of inspiration? We feel you. As you may already know, the Young Sexual Medicine Academy (YoSeMA) is the most recent addition to the ESSM family. We are a young and motivated group of health clinicians who work in the field of sexual medicine, as part of the ESSM. We aim to facilitate younger members’ engagement with the ESSM’s more senior experts, thus operating as a stepping stone for ESSM activities. YoSeMA also aims to raise awareness for sexual health, particularly among young healthcare professionals and students, providing tools for them to do so. We also recognize the difficulties of working within the sexual medicine field, like, isolation in the workplace, difficulty in finding multidisciplinary teams to work with, or lack of established connections to ensure continuing medical education.

Here at YoSeMA we empower each other, especially the younger subset of professionals, students, residents, healthcare workers, nurses, physicians, physiotherapists and psychologists.

Sincerely,
YoSeMA Committee

Chair of the Committee
