Gender Affirming Perinatal Care

This course is designed for healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, midwives, and other practitioners, who provide perinatal care to trans and gender-diverse individuals. Learners will develop skills and gain tools to address the unique sexual and reproductive health needs of trans and gender-diverse people.

Through an intersectional, trauma-informed lens, the course explores common perinatal issues, the impact of minority stress, and strategies for improving care. Additionally, it highlights the effects of bi/homo/transphobia on health outcomes, emphasizing the need for providers to recognize and address their own cognitive dissonance and implicit biases. By fostering self-awareness and reflection, this course equips practitioners to create more inclusive, affirming, and equitable healthcare experiences.
