New online course to boost understanding of transgender kids

Health Across the Gender Spectrum

This new course offers an intimate, story-based introduction to the experiences of six transgender children and their families. Through illustrated stories and short teaching videos, learners will gain a better understanding of gender identity and the gender spectrum. Stanford physicians, K-12 educators, and transgender faculty members offer practical tips for parents, teachers, healthcare providers and anyone who wants to help create a more gender-expansive environment - one in which all people can live authentically. As a global community of unique individuals, we can begin to build a world that is ready to nurture and love each and every child.

Annual Survey and LGBTQ Education Forum

The Real Deal

Every year, we host a student-run forum called The Real Deal from your Queer Peers. The presentation is based on an anonymous survey sent out to the incoming Stanford medical school class, and is designed to be a safe forum to address specific questions and concerns that graduate/medical students may have about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) health. 

Topics covered this year: Identities (gender, sexuality), Safe Sex Practices, Relationships and Sexual Behaviors, IPV, Health Disparities, Tips for Allyship/Being a Competent Provider.
