PEDI 709T Multidisciplinary Transgender Health

Credits: 4
The transgender population has been an historically marginalized community in the United States. They have undergone significant mistreatment including within the medical field, causing distrust in healthcare settings and decreased access to care. Our goal is to improve students’ knowledge of transgender care through an interdisciplinary lens going above and beyond traditional biomedicine. This course will include time spent with our social work team, local community organizations, clinicians and surgeons to better understand the needs of Oregon’s diverse transgender population.
