Basics of Gender Affirming Care

All Day
LGBTQ+ people have been historically marginalized and historically underserved in health care settings. Transgender Americans in particular face unique stigma and discrimination in Health Care environments. Through affirming care trainings, health care providers can make an impact on reducing the frequent disrespect and harassment Transgender and Non-binary patients' experiences accessing healthcare.
This session will cover the basics of affirming care, including diagnosing gender dysphoria, and initiation and monitoring hormone therapy for gender transition, including review of risks/benefits, expected timeline, selection/dosing of medications and contraindications. Additionally, preventive care recommendations for TGNB individuals according to
national guidelines will be reviewed. Patient cases will be utilized to synthesize and apply knowledge presented. The session is targeted toward medical providers, but individuals from all professional backgrounds are welcome to attend.
