“I attended the most recent workshop on transgender issues in health care. As a prospective women’s health care provider, I hope to bring compassion, respect, and expertise to my clinical practice. Education on a wide variety of health care issues (i.e. access to care, health care disparities, reproductive rights, etc.) is key to my success as an effective advocate and provider.
The transgender workshop opened my mind to a number of challenges individuals face in a health care setting. Bias, judgment, and refusal of care are just a few of these issues. Hearing personal experiences as well as engaging in group discussions on this topic were tremendously informative and interesting.
I would definitely attend future workshops on respectful care, and strongly encourage anyone considering a career in the health care field to attend one as well.
Thank you!”
