Free Training webinars to build competence among health care professionals serving transgender and nonbinary patients.

Enhancing the Trans-Specific Competence of Health Care Professionals Serving Transgender and Nonbinary Patients Across Health Care Settings Dr. Ashley Austin, professor, licensed clinical social worker and trans-affirmative practice expert is developing a series of virtual trainings aimed at enhancing the transgender specific knowledge and expertise of current and emerging health care professionals who may encounter transgender, nonbinary and gender-questioning clients within their various practice settings.

The series of virtual trainings has the following three aims:

To enhance overall knowledge and expertise about transgender and nonbinary patients’ needs and experiences, including experiences of gender dysphoria and gender affirmation, to improve overall quality of health care
To correct misinformation about transgender and nonbinary youth and adults that may be perpetuating stigma, bias, and discrimination within health care settings and beyond
To foster a commitment to socially just and inclusive health care across all dimensions of diversity, including gender identity, by mobilizing the compassion and empathy of health care professionals.

Dr. Austin’s is an internationally recognized expert in the field of transgender health and well-being.
