The Course
The professional practice gap this course addresses is the widespread lack of comprehensive education among doctors and allied health professionals regarding female sexuality, hormonal and non-hormonal treatments for desire, and the genitourinary syndrome of menopause. Many clinicians are underprepared to manage these critical aspects of women's health, leading to underdiagnosis, inadequate treatment, and patient dissatisfaction. This course aims to close this gap by equipping healthcare providers with the latest evidence-based knowledge and practical skills, enabling them to deliver holistic and effective care for midlife women’s sexual health concerns. The curriculum is based on the latest clinical guidelines, peer-reviewed research, and evidence-based practices, with regular updates to reflect current standards and advancements in the field.
Your instructor
Dr. Kelly Casperson is a urologist, public speaker, sex educator, and top international podcaster whose mission is empowering women to live their best lives. Dr. Kelly identified the need for better resources and developed a sex education class for women that covers topics like sexual health, intimacy, mind work, and the science of desire. She combines education, humor, and candor in her podcast "You Are Not Broken" where she dismantles the myths women have learned and normalizes healthy, enjoyable sex worth desiring, in addition to essential education on midlife health and hormones. Through the pursuit of certification through the Life Coach School and the North American Menopause Society, she now combines her medical knowledge with mind-work to help women with surgical precision.
An engaging and humorous storyteller, she is a nationally known speaker and is known for being approachable (like your big sister, who is a doctor), making people comfortable with these often uncomfortable topics, and changing lives in the bedroom and out with her practical, useful tips.
Her book: “You Are Not Broken: Stop Should-ing All Over Your Sex Life” is out now on Amazon and Audible. Find her website at www.kellycaspersonmd.com
