‘Transgender children’ course offered by Catholic medical school

Medical students at Loyola University Chicago, a Catholic school, can learn how to treat “transgender children” as part of a “family medicine” course.

“LGBTQ+ Health” will “teach students the evidence-based treatment of LGBTQ+ patients in medicine.”

“The topics may include, but are not limited to, the following: health disparities, mental health, initiation and maintenance of PrEP, initiation and maintenance of hormones for transgender patients, transgender children/adolescents healthcare, and gender confirmation surgery,” according to the course description.

It will be offered twice in the upcoming 2023-24 school year.
