Outcome and Impact Evaluation of a Transgender Health Course for Health Profession Students.

Purpose: Being transgender is associated with numerous health disparities, and transgender individuals face mistreatment and discrimination in healthcare settings.

Our study aimed to evaluate the impact of an elective course for health profession students in transgender health that was implemented to address these gaps in provider knowledge.
