Abstract
As the need for comprehensive, affirmative health care for transgender and gender nonconforming youth has increased in recent years, clinical practice has struggled to catch up with evolving standards of care. The Yale Gender Center is an example of an interdisciplinary model of care that addresses not only clinical needs, but also ancillary needs for patients and training opportunities for students across several health disciplines. In this article, we discuss our clinical and training models, lessons learned, and our proposed directions to expand care. It is our hope to not only offer a model for interdisciplinary care among other health care centers, but to be able to learn from missteps and potentially collaborate with other centers in the future.
期刊介绍：
The Connecticut State Medical Society (CSMS) is a federation of eight component county medical associations, with a total membership exceeding 7,000 physicians. CSMS itself is a constituent state entity of the American Medical Association. Founded by the physician-patriots of the American Revolution, the Society operates from a heritage of democratic principles embodied in its Charter and Bylaws. The base of all authority in CSMS is, of course, the individual physician member. It is the decisions of members in their own county associations that ultimately determine the nature of the Society"s policies and activities.
