Abstract
Medical students should be educated about sexual assault and rape. There is a strong argument in favour of such an educational intervention in all medical schools. Sexual violence is a highly prevalent medical condition that has very significant personal health consequences. Sexual violence is an issue that is frequently misunderstood by the general public and by healthcare professionals. Routine inclusion of this topic on undergraduate medical curricula should improve care provided to victims of sexual violence.
