We can do it! Improving access to care for transgender and gender diverse patients

Compared with the general population, transgender and gender diverse people are more likely to experience poor health outcomes, such as chronic health conditions, HIV, substance use, and mental illness. We know these disparities are due structural factors, such as political and economic policies, and interpersonal factors, such as discrimination, stigma, and violence. Transgender people are also more likely to encounter barriers to accessing health insurance and health care. When transgender people do access health care, nearly half report being mistreated by medical providers.

In this episode, Dr. Antonio E. Urbina, Medical Director of CEI’s HIV Primary Care and Prevention Center of Excellence, speaks with Dr. Joshua D. Safer, Executive Director of Mount Sinai’s Center for Transgender Medicine (CTMS) and Professor at the Icahn School of Medicine. While gender wellness clinics like CTMS are so important, there is a need to expand the health care workforce of providers treating transgender patients. For example, transgender patients report barriers to accessing inclusive primary care providers and specialists who can treat them outside of their gender-affirming interventions. Drs. Urbina and Safer unpack common misconceptions and discuss how providers can improve access to inclusive care for transgender and gender diverse patients. Related Content:
