A Letter from the Chair in Sexual Health
by Eli Coleman, PhD
This was an amazing year for the Program in Human Sexuality. We have had a significant increase in the number of publications and grant activity. Our clinical services continue to transform lives, even when the increased clientele constitutes a waitlist. We have made major revisions to our human sexuality course for medical students, which is still one of the finest in the country.
