Making Healthcare TRANS-parent: Caring for the transgender patient across the lifespan - 2024/11/13

Livestream Schedule: 5 PM – 8:30 PM (includes breaks)  
Contact Hours: 3 (0 Rx)  
Presenter: Vanessa Pomarico

Learn the specialized care required for transgender patients, distinct from other gender non-conforming and gender minority populations. This session focuses on the unique medical, psychological, and social needs of transgender individuals from childhood to adulthood. As more people identify as transgender, especially at younger ages, APRNs must be trans-educated, not just trans-friendly, to provide inclusive and gender-affirming healthcare. 

Gain insights into the latest best practices, guidelines for hormone therapy, and the legal considerations involved in transgender care, such as amending birth certificates and addressing the needs of elder transgender patients. This session also covers the importance of culturally competent terminology and training for healthcare staff to enhance patient care and expand your practice. Equip yourself with evidence-based resources to better serve this underserved population and ensure holistic, patient-centered care.
