Over the last few years there has been much interest and conversation in making medical education trans affirmative. This is in the backdrop of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019, recent Madras and Kerala High Court judgements and the directive from the National Medical Commission. There is thus a clear mandate to make medical education trans-affirmative. However, there is a need for a roadmap towards achieving this goal, especially in accordance with the new competency-based medical education (CBME) curriculum.
This is where the TransCare MedEd project comes where we have created competencies on trans-affirmative health provision. In the conference we will release the draft competencies, discuss them, and the way forward along with sharing best practices in this area.
Aims of the national conference:
1. Dissemination of the developed competencies
2. Building consensus on way forward and building/strengthening alliances and networks toward this
3. Sharing best practices in trans-affirmative health care and education
