台灣EDACT委員會為順應世界潮流及實務需要,於2009年11月28日第五屆第三次委員會議中決議變更委員會名稱為「台灣性功能障礙諮詢暨訓練委員會」Taiwan
Sexual Dysfunction Advisory Council and Training(簡稱Taiwan SDACT)。
本委員會的前身即台灣性功能障礙諮詢暨訓練委員會,成立於民國89年10月7日,暫隸屬於台灣男性學醫學會。其英文名稱為Taiwan
Erectile Dysfunction Advisory Council and Training(簡稱Taiwan EDACT)。委員會成立之背景是由於當時勃起功能障礙之治療方式獲得重大的突破,即口服用藥的發展被証實具有令人滿意的療效,勃起功能障礙的治療也因此頓時成為全民關心的議題。許多勃起功能障礙的民眾因為治療方式方便性的提高而願意出來求診,可供民眾求診和諮詢的對象也不再像以前只侷限於泌尿專科醫師,而可由其他科的醫師來共同分擔,因此本會的委員組成除了以泌尿專科醫師為骨幹為,更遍邀其他相關科別如家醫科、精神科、婦產科、復健科、大腸直腸科、內分泌及老人醫學科等之專科醫師來共同組成。
