Our fellows learn to address healthcare disparities for TGD people across the life span, making health care more accessible, sensitive, and effective. We share educational resources with our partner programs at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center and Mount Sinai in NYC. We are now recruiting for our second year of this program.
