  • Creating an Inclusive Environment for Transgender and Gender-Diverse Patients
    Contains 6 Component(s), Includes Credits

    Athletic trainers serve a variety of patient populations and have a responsibility to provide health care services regardless of an individual’s sexual orientation and gender identity. In order to best serve patients who identify as transgender and gender-diverse, athletic trainers must go beyond treating all patients the same and provide care relative to the specific needs of patients in these populations. This session will serve as an avenue for athletic trainers to expand their knowledge of terminology, health care disparities and inclusive strategies to best assist transgender and gender-diverse patients in sport and life.
