Human sexuality and associated gender roles and sexual behavior are an integral part of health care, clinical and social sciences, biological sciences, and a determinant of population dynamics and population science. The HIV pandemic, and the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) worldwide, make training in human sexuality an essential component of international development, reproductive and population health, and social policy. Sexual health issues are often part of a clinically oriented medical curriculum, and this online certificate broadens human sexuality education to a wider audience across the US and internationally. The Human Sexuality certificate will fulfill part of the requirements towards AASECT certification for sex educators in the components of core knowledge and sexuality education training.
