Description: Transgender clinical care is an area of medicine that can be daunting for PA programs to incorporate into existing curriculum. This session presents a transgender health curriculum that integrates into a body system-based learning model and builds upon pre-existing topics to prepare students to deliver compassionate care to transgender patients.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss clinically relevant topics in transgender medicine that build upon topics already covered under a body systems-based learning model
Discuss the methods for integration of transgender clinical content into established curriculum
Demonstrate the benefit of content integration on student confidence in compassionately caring for transgender patients
