Program Abstract:
Sexual health and education are some of the core needs of college students. With rising STI rates, colleges must be open to innovative screening programs which enhance access to care. Registered nurses are well-positioned in college and university health centers to provide comprehensive, individualized sexual health services for students of all gender identities and sexual orientation. This program will discuss the benefits and practicalities of developing a nurse-led sexual health program that encompasses risk reduction education, contraceptive counseling and STI screening.
