Description
Transgender care is a burgeoning field with great need to build knowledge and skills among clinicians. In early 2020, the Arizona State Health Department asked the Pacific AETC - Bay Area, North and Central Coast region (PAETC-BANCC) to create an in-person preceptorship for HIV clinicians to provide healthcare for transgender patients. After a successful pilot, we planned to offer the course again the following year. However, once the COVID-19 pandemic required remote learning we pivoted to a virtual preceptorship consisting of eight 90-minute sessions.
This workshop describes the development of the in-person preceptorship, the virtual training series, the development of a bi-monthly community of practice to support on-going learning, the impact on practice change in gender-affirming care among HIV providers who participated, and the lessons learned along the way that were used to improve the programs.
