MSM-Trainings is an online learning resource for community healthcare professionals who are working in sexual health and MSM (men who have sex with men) in a community setting. The learning is available both as an online reading and as offline, printable PDFs.

New users to the site who are preparing training sessions should read through the introduction of each section which will give you a good oversight of what the material covers and how to run your training sessions.

Prior a new training session, it’s recommended for students to complete a needs assessment before you decide on what training to offer that would be best suited to run with the people you are training. After the training is completed, it’s encouraged to use the evaluation tool to measure the effectiveness of the training. These are both printable PDFs, with the evaluation being customisable to your selected training modules.
