This is a time when many people and organizations, including the CFPC, celebrate 2SLGBTQ plus pride.
We know 2SLGBTQ plus people face many barriers to health care and that family doctors have an important role in breaking down these barriers and improving 2SLGBTQ plus primary care.
So it's essential we keep up work like this and support our family medicine community so that they can continue providing the highest quality care to these populations.
Today, we'll be talking about two of the most common gender affirming surgeries, vaginoplasty in a transfeminine patient and top surgery or mastectomy in a transmasculine patient.
Family doctors have the knowledge and skills to provide routine post-operative care and equally important, provide reassurance and a safe place for our patients to be heard.
Current limitations in the availability of transition-related surgery means that our patients will often have to travel great distances to get this life-saving care.
With this podcast, we want to make sure all primary care clinicians out there are comfortable with managing common post-operative presentations.
So, Dr. Thompson, would you be able to walk us through the learning objectives for today's podcast?
Today, we'll be exploring two common gender-affirming surgeries where family physicians might encounter the opportunity to provide the necessary post-op care, namely vaginoplasty and masculinizing chest surgery.
We'll review a few ways in which family physicians can support their patients through the recovery period and assist with the management of some common complications.
So, today we have two cases that highlight common presentations that we may see with our transmasculine and transfeminine patients.
