Syllabus for Conference Registrants
The Transgender Health Symposium is a unique program designed to provide a holistic overview of mental and medical health, and social welfare around topics relating to Transgender and Non-Binary (TGNB) clients. This course will feature sessions around mental health care, gender affirming related medical procedures (surgical and hormonal), and gender-affirming healthcare practices. All topics will be provided by members of the Gender Health Program.
The course aims to meet two main goals:
- To provide providers with the tools and knowledge to instill empowerment onto patients around transition and identity related medical procedures, mental health services and social welfare programs.
- To allow TGNB community members to gain first-hand knowledge around medical procedures, mental health services and social welfare programs which helps to foster resiliency and autonomy in their own transition.
The program will be a live virtual conference and will have breaks throughout the day.
Target Audience
This course is targeted towards anyone interested in an in-depth exposure to medical care, mental health care and social welfare knowledge for this population, but we are marketing primarily towards:
- Physicians (in practice and in training) and allied health professionals in primary care, family medicine, and internal medicine
- Mental health professionals (trainees, associates and licensed)
- Social workers
- Community members who desire to learn more about transition and the medical/mental health field (those who identity as TGNB)

The FDA has issued a concept paper which classifies commercial support of scientific and educational programs as promotional unless it can be affirmed that the program is "truly independent" and free of commercial influence. In addition to independence, the FDA requires that nonpromotional, commercially supported education be objective, balanced, and scientifically rigorous. The policy further states that all potential conflicts of interest of the CME staff and faculty be fully disclosed to the program's participants. In addition, Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education policy mandates that the provider adequately manages all identified potential conflicts of interest prior to the program. We at UCLA fully endorse the letter and spirit of these concepts.
