Resumen
Sex pre-grade courses in Colombia are not common yet. Although
generally it is thought that professionals have large information in the
area, it is observed that the first sex course given in a Medical School of
a Colombian University was dictacted in the Universidad de Caldas (Manizales)
only in 1968. Five years Iater a similar course was introduced in
the Medical School of the Universidad del Rosario in Bogota. The phenomenon
ís not surprising since a similar sítuation occurs in other Latín
American countries. The paper presents the main characteristics of a
formal sex course which has been included in the psychology currículum
at the Universidad Metropalitana in Barranquilla, Colombia. It ia consídered
very useful for those persons interested on improving the training
of the Latin American psychologiat.
