Evaluating the impact of distance learning on gender-affirming healthcare competence: knowledge acquisition and satisfaction among healthcare professionals in Italy.

Background: Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals face significant healthcare barriers, with one of the most critical being the inadequate knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals (HCPs) in TGD health. To address this issue, we undertook a project to develop a distance learning course for all healthcare professions, encompassing a comprehensive range of topics related to TGD health issues.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a course on gender-affirming healthcare competence, with a focus on knowledge acquisition and satisfaction levels.

Diverse patterns of disease can affect different members of the same family and may show different features in the same patient, with clinical overlaps thwarting the differential diagnosis. An anatomo-pathological hallmark in enthesoarthritis is the inflammatory process in the synovio-entheseal sites.
