About This Course
This course teaches the language, concepts, and tools you need to make your practice gender inclusive and have sophisticated conversations around sensitive topics with transgender patients. Includes an in-depth explanation of up-to-date gender terminology, concepts, and pronouns, making your clinic a safe space, with inclusive intake forms, gender neutral bathrooms, signage, and more. Plus, guidance on how to excel at difficult conversations with patients, such as asking about menstrual cycles.

Create a safe atmosphere that encourages patient openness and honesty, giving you the crucial personal details you need from your patients to treat them expertly and safely. Avoid insulting language and ask sensitive health questions politely, so that your LGBTQ patients can relax and focus on getting the full benefit of your treatments. Feel confident and capable of leading a respectful and smooth intake process, without worrying about offending someone or stumbling over your words. Free yourself from fear and provide the best care possible in the most considerate way possible, each and every time an LGBTQ patient walks through your door.
