This introductory workshop features pediatric experts from various disciplines (psychology, endocrinology, gynecology, chaplaincy, and legal) who provide an overview of the care of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth (clinical considerations, recent research, environmental issues, best practices). The presenters share their interdisciplinary model, discuss how it can be replicated, and explore best practices and lessons learned. This interdisciplinary workshop aims not only to be educational in nature but collaborative as well, using a consultative approach. Throughout this workshop, participants are provided with resources they can take to their respective practices. Note: Please be advised that some surgical images during this presentation may be considered graphic.
