ESSM Newsletter # 37

Contents Welcome Address It is great pleasure for me, as a new editor in chief, to welcome you to this August 2017 issue of ESSM today. I have the difficult task to carry on the work of the previous editor, Juan Ignacio Martinez-Salamanca, that I would like to thank on behalf our society for the brilliant work done. ESSM Today has become under his direction a very “looked forward” publication, that all of us love and have learned to enjoy. The executive committee has now decided to make ESSM Today freely available also to non-members, in order to show to a wider public what Sexual Medicine means nowadays, and how many activities our Society conducts to improve culture, education, research and clinical practice in this important scientific field. ESSM is a modern model of multidisciplinary and multi- national scientific society. In this issue Maarten Albersen highlights the most relevant topics addressed in the latest ESSM annual meeting held in Nice last February, remind- ing us how wide, rich and complex Sexual Medicine is today; Mikkel Fode reveals why ESSM has the attitude to attract so many members and a number of national affiliated societies; Yacov Reisman describes the main educational activities of ESSM and the Multidisciplinary Joint Committee of Sexual Medicine, that strive to set up new quality standards in the training and clinical practice of Sexual Medicine in Europe. Thank to these and other articles in this issue you will have at a glance a colorful picture of ESSM, and I’m sure you will love it! Welcome to the ESSM, a landmark for anybody involved in the field of Sexual Medicine, an entire world to discover and to join!
