People who are transgender and gender diverse (TGD) report suboptimal care from health care providers. A cross-sectional survey was codesigned with community partners to assess the knowledge, comfort, and skills of family physicians, family medicine residents, and nurse practitioners working with TGD patients in Saskatchewan. It was administered from August to October 2019. Of 188 participants, 30% and 96% were comfortable providing transition-related and non-transition-related medical care to patients who are TGD, respectively. Interest in further training in providing transition-related medical care and cultural safety was high. No significant differences between provider groups were observed. Based on our results, provincial training initiatives will be undertaken.
