ABSTRACT
The article comments on the role of the physician in education about sexuality to school aged children of the United States. It cites a survey of school sex education programs, which revealed that in 989 schools with courses, physicians were the major advocates of initiating a program. In 1964 physicians in general practice and in Obstetrics and Gynecology practicing at that time, reported that their own medical education did not prepare them for advising patients on sexual matters. A physician can play a major role in providing sex education to school going children.
