Fifty Years in Sexual Medicine
Dr. Goldstein has been involved in sexual dysfunction research since the late 1970s. He earned a bachelor's degree in engineering from Brown University, with an honors thesis in biomedical engineering, and his medical degree from McGill University Faculty of Medicine in his hometown of Montreal in 1975. He served on the faculty of Boston University School of Medicine for 25 years as Professor of Urology and Gynecology and founding Director of the former Institute for Sexual Medicine at BUSM, where he began training fellows in sexual medicine in 1984. He has since trained more than 36 sexual medicine fellows, many of whom now lead the field. In 2006, he founded The Institute for Sexual Medicine, a non-profit organization dedicated to basic science research and education in sexual medicine. Today he is Director of San Diego Sexual Medicine and Director of Sexual Medicine at University of California San Diego East Campus, where he holds appointments as Clinical Professor of Urology and Voluntary Clinical Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences.
