Episode 68: Transgender Awareness with Taylor Sprecher and Matt Streger
The transgender population is a part of your patient population, and we all need to know how to assess and communicate therapeutically with our trans patients.
Matt Streger introduces us to Taylor Sprecher, a trans man and EMT who has taken the lead in trying to educate clinicians about trans patients, and some clinical pearls for us to utilize.
