"Sexual medicine has emerged from the shadows in recent decades. The advent of Viagra over 20 years ago and the appreciation of female sexual dysfunction as a widespread entity have spurred this rapid growth. I’m happy to support the SMSNA Foundation to help foster the careers of young investigators in this growing field. I’m fortunate that my career has been advanced by my association with SMSNA and its members."

Run Wang, MD, FACS
"The SMSNA Foundation makes possible early stage research and projects in sexual medicine that would otherwise go unfunded or that investigators would potentially struggle to obtain funding for. This is exactly what’s needed in a field where the potential is huge but funding is not immediately available. That next project could yield a breakthrough that changes healthcare! I am proud to support the SMSNA and its foundation, as it has supported my career and those of other future leaders in sexual medicine."
Alexander W. Pastuszak, MD, PhD
"The SMSNA has had a tremendous impact on my career and has allowed me to grow as a physician, researcher and person! The Foundation is crucial to helping other young individuals obtain funding and grants that could lead to breakthrough findings in our field! I encourage everyone to donate to the Foundation to further advance its impact on sexual medicine!"
Faysal A. Yafi, MD, FRCSC
"There is great value which comes from legitimate scientific research. Although industry-funded projects are often very impactful and significantly advance our understanding of sexual medicine, many important and ground-breaking discoveries would never happen without independent research and funding. The SMSNA Foundation provides a method to support studies which may not be financially lucrative but have significant value for the progress of sexual medicine."
Landon W. Trost, MD
