Welcome to M.ED: Medical Education for the practicing clinician. This is the first in a two-part episode series on transgender health. I was fortunate to have a really interesting conversation with Dr. Adam Dell, a pediatrician who works in adolescent medicine at the University of Utah Adolescent Medicine Clinic with GeMS (Gender Management and Support). This is a comprehensive clinic for transgender, non-binary, intersex, and gender diverse youth, as well as for youth questioning their gender. The clinic provides care for their patient's physical, mental, and emotional health. Dr. Dell gives a great overview of the state of current transgender medicine, including various treatment options as well as information that every clinician should know when caring for transgender patients. Dr. Dell completed his medical school training at the University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine and his pediatric residency training at the University of Utah.

Also taking part in this conversation is Dr. Lucy. She has a child who identifies as transgender and she discusses her personal experience of being a parent of a transgender child while also being a pediatrician. We are not using her last name today because her child is a minor and is thus unable to give consent to the use of her name in a public sphere. Please enjoy these episodes that provide timely and important information regarding transgender health that are applicable to clinicians across specialties.

As always, you will find links to articles related to Transgender Medicine on the RUUTE website. Free CME credit is available on the website as well. Please enjoy!
