In the Clinic Episode 59: Weight Loss

Le groupe d'intérêt des membres sur la santé des patients 2SLGBTQ+ a collaboré avec projet NUANCES, centre de soins en diversité sexuelle et de genre. Dre Judith Lajeunesse et Caroline Paquette de projet NUANCES présentent un cas clinique qui permettra aux médecins de famille de mieux comprendre leur rôle en appuyant les patients qui veulent discuter une transition de genre.

This podcast discusses two of the most common gender-affirming surgeries - vaginoplasty in a transfeminine patient and top surgery or mastectomy in a trans masculine patient. These are emotionally high stakes surgeries for our transgender and gender diverse patients. Family doctors have the knowledge and skills to provide routine postoperative care, and equally important, provide reassurance and a safe place for our patients to be heard.
