Trans people are at least of the population. And so, in our practice, all of us as clinicians will see trans people in our practice, and so it's important to be knowledgeable, to practice inclusive and safer care, so that people feel like they can build a trusting alliance with us, so that we can provide optimal care for them.
Ever wondered how to make your practice more inclusive for transgender patients? In this episode of 'Quick Takes', Dr. David Gratzer sits down with Dr. Alex Abramovich and Dr. June Lam, two leading experts from CAMH, to discuss the nuances of transgender care in mental health. They explore the crucial role of respectful language and the impact of hormone replacement therapy on psychotropic medications.
The conversation weaves through research findings and real-life patient interactions, providing a comprehensive look at the trans experience in healthcare. You'll gain insights into the high rates of depression, homelessness, and suicidality among trans individuals, and learn practical tips for creating a more supportive care environment. This episode is a must-listen for any physician looking to improve their practice and make a meaningful difference in the lives of their transgender patients.
