It’s not current, half of it is corrupted by political opinion and it’s hard to find information that’s inclusive and accurate without paywalls or practice legislation (i.e. accessing a great provider who is a country away from you and requires expensive travel). I actually decided to return to grad school in order to specialize further in sexual health, marrying it to a nutrition & wellness approach.
