Ryan Holley-Mallo, PhD, DNP, NP-C: Hello, I'm Dr. Ryan Holley-Mallo, and I would like to take the time to invite you to join us for sexual health and wellness and primary care.

In there, we're going to talk about many different things—my colleague Dr. Parish and I. But I'm going to take care of helping you understand how to initiate a difficult conversation in the exam room. How do I even start that kind of sensitive conversation with a patient that they desperately want to have? Even when I'm not really sure how to broach that because what if they don't wanna talk about it?

We're going to talk about some of the most common ailments that men face of a sexual health nature, including erectile dysfunction and BPH. And we're going talk about patients that have higher risk practice sex encounters that maybe aren't anything that we're even used to having a conversation about, yet how do I keep those patients safe?

I want invite you along for the journey. Thank you so much for joining us. We're going to talk about all of these topics together. It's guaranteed to make you laugh, might make you blush a little bit, but we'll definitely put tools in your toolbox to take care of patients in your home community.
