Advancing LGBTQ+ Health Equity: Understanding HIV PrEP and Transgender Hormone Therapy Webinar
Hosted by the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians
August 19, 2021
5 p.m. MT
Members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and others (LGBTQ+) community often experience significant disparities in health outcomes and barriers to health care access. Family physicians have the opportunity to have an impact on the health of their LGBTQ+ patients by taking the lead in meeting their medical and social needs.
Ohio Academy of Family Physicians member Natalie Hinchcliffe, DO, will moderate as we learn how to use appropriate language and patient pronouns, learn the basics of providing transgender hormone therapy, be able to describe the importance and components of taking a comprehensive sexual health history, and understand the clinical guidelines for providing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in a primary care setting.
