Advanced Practice Providers Education

Thanks. The course is updated and fluent in knowledge.

The SMSNA APP Essentials Course greatly improved my confidence and clinical skills in managing sexual health and urologic concerns. It provided evidence-based practices, diagnostic strategies, and therapeutic options. Working in infectious diseases, addiction medicine, and reproductive health, I found it especially valuable for initiating nuanced conversations, identifying subtle concerns, and delivering holistic, patient-centered care through interdisciplinary collaboration.

Getting in such close proximity to prestigious professors and experts aware of the newest guidelines and practices is always a great opportunity to sharpen my skills.

In a busy primary care setting, I frequently address patients' sexual and urologic concerns. Completing two years of the APP Essentials Course, including hands-on training, has enhanced my ability to manage these issues effectively. This has reduced unnecessary urology referrals, ensured appropriate workups when referrals are needed, and improved patient outcomes. Patients appreciate avoiding specialist visits unless necessary and are more engaged in understanding how their overall health impacts these concerns, leading to healthier lifestyle changes.

Helpful in being up to DARPA’s on treatment of Peyronie’s disease.

Participating in the SMSNA APP Essentials Course was career-changing!! I have been able to be more aware, inquisitive, and have better evaluation skills regarding the sexual and urologic health of my patients. This course helped to "close the gap" in subject areas that I needed further education, and intern, has positively impacted the care I deliver to my patients. Thank you!

I am a new Urology PA in my first year of practice. This course helped me understand the basic concepts for pathologies such as male infertility and Peyronie's Disease. Great introduction for a new provider.

Excellent courses. I learned new diagnostic methods and new treatments for patients.

Iam a sex therapist, and the information by Dr. Valli and Dr. Nelson will be very helpful for my clients who have breast cancer or ED with prostrate cancer or other issues.

It has improved working with the male population in the outpatient clinic to help alleviate some burden from the physicians.

Participating in the SMSNA APP Essentials course was a highly valuable and enriching experience. The course provided up-to-date, evidence-based knowledge and practical tools that are directly applicable to everyday clinical practice.
