Coming Soon: Sexual and Reproductive Health Courses for Providers Across Canada
Sherbourne Health’s project, Improving the Quality and Access of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare for 2SLGBTQ People Living in Canada is currently in its pilot phase. This project, funded by Health Canada, aims to address the gap in access to inclusive, comprehensive sexual and reproductive healthcare for 2SLGBTQ communities by advancing the capacity of healthcare providers (HCPs) to provide culturally safe, affirming, and accurate service provision for 2SLGBTQ clients.
We are looking for healthcare providers across Canada who are interested in taking one or both of the following courses, which will be offered once each between February to March 2023:
- General Sexual and Reproductive Health and Wellness for 2SLGBTQ+
Communities, with topics including fertility preservation for trans and non-binary individuals, contraception and STBBI prevention, pregnancy termination, maintaining health and wellness of the sexual and reproductive systems and gender-affirming pelvic exams. - 2SLGBTQ+ Fertility Care and Family Planning, with topics including gender-affirming fertility care, HIV and fertility, preconception health, regional availability of and access to care providers to support clients in their fertility journey, and options for surrogacy, adoption, and accessing donor gametes.
Please note that Rainbow Health Ontario’s 2SLGBTQ+ Foundations course is a prerequisite
to registration. To register for one or both of these course pilots, please click here to fill out our online
form. We would especially encourage providers from outside of Ontario to share their
feedback. For more information about this project, please contact us.
