This Clinician Café will explore existing and emerging gender-affirming care in the Title X setting. Gender-affirming care, as defined by the World Health Organization, encompasses a range of social, psychological, behavioral, and medical interventions “designed to support and affirm an individual’s gender identity” when it conflicts with the gender they were assigned at birth. The interventions fall along a continuum as well, from counseling to changes in social expression to medications (such as hormone therapy). The Tea and Talk is scheduled for June 12th at 12:30pm CT. Up to 2.5 CE (CNE and CPH) is available for this Cafe.
Objectives:
Provide an overview of current health disparities for those seeking gender-affirming care and how healthcare systems are addressing them.
Express how some Title X providers can improve gender-affirming care, within family planning settings like contraception, steps for family planning, adoption, and warm hand-offs.
Identify benefits and drawbacks of IUDs that may be unique to transmasculine patients.
Describe the effects of serum testosterone levels on vaginal bleeding and spotting.
Explain the factors associated with unsatisfactory Paps in transmasculine patients.
Participants will be able to assess their organizations regarding lgbtq+ services and gender-affirming care offered within their setting.
Please note: Registration for the Clinician Cafe and the Tea and Talk are the same - you will be registered for both with one registration.
