Program Abstract:
This presentation outlines the process of developing a Transgender Care Team in a major public university setting as a part of elevating the standard of care provided to students identifying as transgender or gender non-conforming. Guided by the team's mission: "to provide interdisciplinary education, training, advocacy, and consultation as it relates to the healthcare of transgender and gender non-conforming individuals", we will share clinical pearls and review case studies including EMR adaptations, substance use, eating disorders, anxious and depressive disorders, and medical treatment guidelines.
