There are not any courses specifically designed for those working in genito-urinary medicine and family planning clinics linking between sexual coercion and teenage pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. All doctors are required to undertake examinations whose standard are set by the medical royal colleges. All doctors are therefore required to have an overall level of understanding of all diseases.
