Target Audience

DMU faculty, staff, students, residents, and the medical community.

Educational Need

Transgender individuals are a high-risk population for mental and physical health problems and are consistently and systemically underserved by the American medical system. Regular harassment and discrimination contribute to high rates of stress and—combined with adverse social, political, and economic risk factors—make transgender individuals significantly more likely to experience poor health outcomes. Structural, institutional, and individual barriers to access to care and a lack of cultural competency from many healthcare providers contribute to the disparities in health between transgender and cisgender populations.

The DMU TransHealth Series educates healthcare providers to identify and change the systemic barriers to care that cause transgender health inequities and improve knowledge about transgender-specific care.

Objectives

  1. Define gender dysphoria.
  2. Introduce the various interventions of gender-affirming care, including their indications and contraindications.
  3. Evaluate barriers to gender-affirming care and laws surrounding the topic.
