Article Synopsis
- This study uses life narratives and an intersectional approach to examine how structural domains (like ethnicity, gender, and social class) influence identity among young adults.
- Through interviews with 177 primarily minoritized individuals, the research analyzes 885 narratives, focusing on themes of identity and meaning.
- The findings show that ethnicity/race is the most discussed domain, while narratives about social class were more negative and less connected to other domains, highlighting complex interconnections that affect personal identity.
Purpose: Poorer health outcomes for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals have been associated with lack of health care provider knowledge and personal bias. Training at all levels of medical education has been positioned as one strategy to combat these inequities. This study sought to characterize preclinical medical student attitude, skill, and knowledge pre- and post-teaching with TGD community volunteers.

We developed a clinical skills and education module on gender-affirming care for pre-clinical medical students, in collaboration with a TGD-led civil society organisation. The module consisted of an educational session followed by preceptor-facilitated small group tutorials, led by TGD patient-educators (n = 22) who used their lived experience to explore medical history-taking and broader issues related to TGD healthcare with students (n = 199).

Methods: A retrospective audit of medical records of GBM presenting to a sexual health centre and provided with nPEP compared two periods to determine if nPEP usage changed following availability of PrEP.
