Role-play simulation to teach nursing students how to provide culturally sensitive care to transgender patients.

Objective: Increase student knowledge and comfort with caring for a transgender individual and confronting colleagues when exhibiting poor cultural intelligence.

Background: Transgender patients often experience health care inequities, including heteronormative microaggressions in communication and policies. Simulation has been a successful means of providing students with the education, tools, and experience necessary to combat systemic injustice in health care.
