Gender Affirming Care Student Interest Group

Gender-affirming care for transgender/genderdiverse individuals is a journey. Across the spectrum of medical and surgical care exists many options that help to address gender dysphoria in these individuals. This interest group serves to create a space specifically focused on the broad spectrum of specialty and subspecialty roles that collectively work to provide important treatments, procedures, surgical options, therapy, and medical care for our transgender/genderdiverse patient population along various paths in their journey to gender affirmation. For students interested and committed to providing gender-affirming care as a future physician, this club seeks to highlight the many different specialties that play a unique role in providing essential gender-affirming care along the way, from gender-affirming therapy (psychiatry), to behavioral voice-modulating therapy (SLP within ENT), voice surgeons (ENT), craniofacial/chest surgery (plastics), bottom surgery (urology), hormonal therapy (endocrine), hair transplants (dermatology), primary care and much more.
