Medical professionals
In today’s rapidly changing landscape, medical providers who strive to uphold their oath to “do no harm” as they treat TGD patients often must navigate a legal minefield to provide the care they know is medically necessary. Key to improving poor health outcomes in TGD communities is providing health care that avoids unintentional harm and affirms patients’ identities. Improve your clinical skills by increasing competency within current medical guidelines, discovering and addressing implicit bias that impedes adequate care to improve respectful language and sensitive care delivery.
