TransTrack
Overview
Transgender patients struggle with access to quality care, as well as disparities in risk behaviors and health outcomes.
The College of Medicine Department of Family and Community Medicine's approach to care provides an ideal setting for transgender patient care and training.
Learn About Transgender Care
Despite curricular guidelines, structured training on transgender care remains minimal nationally. Societal acceptance of diverse sexual and gender identities means that a greater number of transgender patients seek care.
The TransTrack aims to address this educational and care gap through a curriculum designed to meet American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) standards.
Join Program
