Transgender and intersex patients face widespread discrimination and barriers to health care. Providers often lack proficiency in transgender-fr iendly practices due to limited specialized training and lack of transgende r-specific training curricula. In response to these gaps in training, and t o increase understanding of this increasingly visible patient population, w e developed a forum focused on promoting cultural competence in transgender and intersex health. This forum aims to increase provider knowledge of tra nsgender and intersex health, their specific needs, information and best pr actices for transgender friendly services.
The interactive forum will provide participants with an overview of transgender and intersex health a nd the barriers that inform low healthcare utilization and health dispariti es in this community using slideshows, video and case studies demonstrating practical strategies toward transgender friendly practice. Participants wi ll learn about current trends in language use (e.g., pronouns, gender-inclu sive terminology) and how to best support gender diverse patients who are c harged with navigating complex, and at times unfriendly, medical systems. F inally, the forum will include a question and answer session during which p articipants can critically reflect on their past experiences with transgend er and intersex patients while brainstorming ways of developing affirming p ractices in their respective workplace settings.
This program is at t he intermediate level and is designed for interdisciplinary audiences in ar eas of psychiatry, psychology, social work, endocrinology, family medicine, internal medicine, plastic surgery and pediatrics.
This session qualifies for 3.0 continuing education credits. You m ust attend the full 3-hour program to get continuing education credit for t he event.
