Gender Affirmative Patient Care: an IAP Workshop

GECD

Add to Calendar Jan/19 Fri 01:00PM-02:30PM E19-202

Enrollment: Unlimited: Advance sign-up required

What does it look like to be inclusive in regards to gender and why is it important for health professionals? Aspiring health professionals are eager to deliver the best patient care possible to all the communities they serve. Yet, consider the following:

How can MIT be a catalyst for transforming this disconnection?

To address this disconnection, the MIT Prehealth Advising Office is coordinating with LGBTQ Services to bring you a non-credit IAP workshop on this topic. The workshop will include a panel of professionals, including an MIT nurse practitioner, the Fenway Institute’s director of Education and Training Programs, and a trans rights advocate & activist.

This workshop has a specific health profession lens, however, it is for ANYONE interested in learning about gender-affirmative language, practices, and perspectives. Send us questions and topics you would want addressed during the workshop (regardless of your availability on 1/19).

Pre-registration requested.
