Gender-affirming care, including hormones and surgery, are evidence-based treatments that reduce gender dysphoria in transgender and gender non-conforming people, but many face barriers to accessing this care. Clinicians need training on appropriately diagnosing gender dysphoria, assessing readiness for hormones per WPATH guidelines, and managing comorbid psychiatric conditions. This course provides comprehensive information and practice guidelines for providing gender-affirming hormone therapy to transgender adults.
