ForwardTransgender Healthcare for Primary Care Pediatrics
The issue of gender identity is emerging in Pediatrics as a very important issue as more and more children, adolescents and young adults struggle with gender identity when it is not matched with the gender assigned at birth. Experienced clinicians within the MGH Transgender Health Program will work with us based on vignettes of patient experiences. There is so much variation in what patients themselves experience internally and response to their not conforming to gender norms in society. The terminology, the stigma, the importance of compassionate care are themes that will be addressed. Dr. Frey-Vogel and Melanie Cohn-Hopwood have extensive experience in providing care to patients who experience discrimination and specifically transgendered patients who face bias because of who they are. Working through smaller groups, faculty will help us to work through situations that may arise and educate us on providing compassionate care in a way that is culturally appropriate and accepting of transgendered patients.
