“Only these 8 states require sex education classes to mention consent”

Only 24 states and D.C. mandate sex education in public schools, while only 8 of those require the mention of consent or sexual assault. The study conducted by nonpartisan policy institute Center for American Progress also found that a majority of public school students across the country don’t know how to identify health versus unhealthy relationship behaviors.

Hear from a first- and fourth-year pair of siblings who share their journeys going to and through medical school. They highlight similarities and differences in their experiences, offering insight into medical education persepctives and its impact on personal well-being.
