About the Department

Founded more than 50 years ago, the Institute for Sexual and Gender Health (formerly the Program in Human Sexuality) is one of the largest clinical, teaching, and research institutions in the world specializing in human sexuality. We have a strong research agenda in compulsive sexual behavior, women's sexual health, transgender and non-binary health, and related areas, that has been supported by millions of dollars in state and federal funding, and we have developed innovative and effective treatment approaches to sexual and gender problems. The Institute has led the way nationally and internationally in crucial, often controversial, sexual issues and has worked with local, national, and international health agencies to advance public health policies promoting sexual health. We have also been national and international leaders in transgender and non-binary health, both in clinical practice and research. We offer graduate education through our Master of Professional Studies in Sexual Health, and provide physician education on sexual health through the medical curriculum. We encourage you to visit our website at https://med.umn.edu/sexualhealth.

The Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Minnesota was created more than 50 years ago in response to a legislative mandate to train primary care physicians. Since then, we have been leaders in transforming the specialty through education, research, and patient care. We are the academic sponsor of seven family medicine residencies—five in the Twin Cities, two in Greater Minnesota. We are involved in medical student education activities across the Medical School's two campuses: Twin Cities and Duluth. We sponsor five fellowship programs—sports medicine, hospice and palliative medicine, behavioral medicine, clinical informatics, and human sexuality— and offer continuing medical education opportunities.
