| Popis: | Transgender and gender nonbinary (TGNB) individuals experience challenges while applying for and completing residency, although limited research exists. An academic panel reviewed best practices for residency programs who interview and match TGNB residents. Program leadership should identify and utilize the affirming name and pronouns for all applicants, not ask gender identity during an interview unless self-disclosed, and ensure that health insurance covers transition care. Programs should proactively educate all residents, faculty, and staff on knowledge gaps regarding transgender health regardless of the presence of TGNB residents. Future studies are necessary regarding experiences of TGNB residents to investigate their specific needs. |
