Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT) Community of Practice

  • via Zoom Portland (map)

This twice-monthly community of practice will support primary care providers in offering gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) to their ADULT* patients. 

The first three didactic sessions will cover the process of hormone initiation, making referrals to adjacent gender-affirming care, and management and surveillance of testosterone- and estrogen-centered therapies.

The remaining sessions will provide key clinical takeaways, followed by case-based discussion using participants’ cases, related to topics such as lab conundrums, nuances in hormone formulation adjustment and titration, best practices for informed consent practices, and more.

*Course content will be focused on care of the individual who has reached a developmental stage of Tanner 4/5.
