Medical Management of Gender Transitions

Session Description: 
Ensuring gender affirming care is integral to the spectrum of healthcare, yet there remains a notable gap in equipping providers with the necessary knowledge on best practices. This presentation aims to bridge that gap by offering a foundational understanding of prescribing hormone therapy for individuals, spanning both youth and adults seeking gender affirming treatment. Attendees will leave equipped with the knowledge to confidently prescribe both feminizing and masculinizing therapies. Moreover, they will gain an understanding of the prospective risks and benefits, while discerning the differences between permanent and reversible side effects.
