This course will focus on information that will allow providers to offer optimal care for their transgender patients. This includes a better understanding of the community in general, the effects that exogenous hormonal treatments have on the skin, the dermatologist’s role in perioperative management, and the use of minimally invasive techniques to affirm someone’s gender. At the end of this lesson, practitioners will gain a better understanding of how to turn their office into a more culturally competent environment, and how to use their skills for the betterment of the transgender community.
