Pediatricians may (often unknowingly) have systems or ways of practicing in place that make LGBTQ+ youth uncomfortable about forming a strong doctor-patient relationship. Except for very recent graduates, pediatricians likely haven’t had formal education on prescribing PrEP or guiding transgender youth through social transition, much less medical transition with gender affirming hormones or puberty blockers. Many physicians are uncomfortable with doing complete, explicit sexual health histories with LGBTQ+ youth nor are many pediatricians knowledgeable about gender or sexuality concerns in a developmentally appropriate manner. Most pediatricians have never been taught how to work with families who don’t (or even who do) accept their child’s LGBTQ+ identity. Rarely do pediatricians consider LGBTQ+ concerns in young children. 

This course will provide the necessary education and resources to assist you in serving your patients and creating a more inclusive and welcoming healthcare environment for them.

By attending this course, you will:

• Learn from expert faculty who will provide current and practical information that you can take back to your office and use right away.
• Gain strategies for enhancing care for LGBTQ+ health for children, adolescents, and young adults.

OBJECTIVES
By attending the 2024 LGBTQ+ Health for Children, Adolescents and Young Adults Virtual Course, you will be able to:

• Learn how to make offices welcoming to communities marginalized by their sexual orientation and gender identities.
• Analyze how the learners’ hospitals, treatment facilities and healthcare systems can better meet the needs of LGBTQ+ youth.
• Describe the guidelines and issues around providing primary or specialty care to transgender youth (and be able to comfortably provide whatever level of care is needed to support the patient and family).
• Implement programs to improve supports in the lives of LGBTQ+ youth in order to increase resiliency in LGBTQ+ youth and decrease suicide risk.
• Create a toolbox to advocate for LGBTQ+ youth. Gain resources on how to prescribe and manage PrEP.
• Locate and use community resources for LGBTQ+ youth and their families.
• Identify LGBTQ+ concerns across the pediatric age range.
• Determine how to be an advocate for medical care for LGBTQ+ youth.
