Internal Oncologist, Head of the Hemophiliac Outpatient Clinic, Colleague of the Oncologic and Lifestyle Outpatient Clinic of the University Clinic of Internal Medicine III, Salzburg
The training for sexual physicians offered for the first time in Salzburg by the Austrian Academy of Sexual Medicine, founded 2010 under the leadership of Dr. Marianne Greil-Soyka and Univ. Prof. Dr. Kurt Loewit, is a fundamental and important enrichment for the daily work of a physician. Owing to the very practical training, using role-playing among other training elements, one quickly develops sensitivity for the potentially existing sexual problems of patients, which are often not addressed by the patients themselves out of shame. Even when the professional focus is not on sexual medicine is or we cannot personally carry out the necessary sexual therapy due to lack of time, this offers the ability to professionally initiate treatment.
