5/7/25 - Transgender and Nonbinary Patient Care Simulation Workshop
Wednesday, May 7, 2025
5:00-7:00pm
Women and Infants Hospital, Simulation Center
Overview
This interdisciplinary workshop features multiple simulation exercises with a Standardized Patient actor, thus giving participants an opportunity to practice using intentionally inclusive language in a safe, nonjudgmental space. The goals are to introduce the basics of gender diversity and terminology; learn how bias, stigma, and the current legal landscape affects gender diverse patients; and to understand our role in minimizing those stress effects in clinical settings. The session will include time time for participants to brainstorm and/or share challenging scenarios that we can navigate together.
Target Audience
This session is open to all faculty, staff and trainees.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
1. Recognize gender diversity in the medical practice setting.
2. Describe acceptable terms for gender and sexual identity in the LGBTQIA++ community.
3. Identify the current legal landscape for the transgender community in Rhode Island and nationally
4. Use intentionally inclusive language with transgender and nonbinary patients
