Overview
It is estimated that 1.6 million in the U.S. identify as transgender. Transgender stigma limits access to resources in healthcare, persistently affecting the physical and mental health of transgender people. The goal of this lecture is to provide the tools for health care providers to better serve their transgender patients. As a foundation, the terms and concepts associated with gender will be outlined. Next, the specific risk factors that contribute to poor health outcomes in transgender patients will be explored. Common primary care and mental health care conditions in this population will be expounded. Finally, the benefits and risks of hormone therapy and gender reassignment surgery will be discussed.
Objectives
- Understand the terms associated with sex and gender.
- Identify specific medical and behavioral health risk factors/conditions for transgender patients.
- Learn the basics of hormone therapy, the benefits and risks of gender reassignment surgery, and the clinical outcomes.
- Appreciate the role of the Nurse Practitioner in providing transgender care.
