Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy: Medical Science and Clinical Care SEATS AVAILABLE
Friday January 10, 2025 8:55am - 10:10am PST
TBA
What is gender affirming care? What are hormones and how do they work? How do doctors customize medical care for transgender and nonbinary patients to achieve their individual gender transition goals and optimize safe health outcomes?

This session will introduce hormonal pathways of the endocrine system, hormone medications commonly prescribed for gender affirming care and their effects on the human body. We will discuss how gender affirming hormone therapy induces physical and emotional changes that help transgender and gender diverse people feel more aligned with their identities. We will review current guidelines and best practices regarding informed consent, medical monitoring, and the importance of multidisciplinary health care.

No prerequisite skills or knowledge are required. We will review definitions and terminology at the beginning of the session to ensure we are using consistent, inclusive and respectful language.
