Description

Dr. Sarah Burgamy will focus on the intersection of health care and sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Specifically, she will explore this intersectionality in light of how clinical approaches to health and wellness may differ in gender and sexual orientation diverse people. Mental health providers will learn a functional way to approach patients inclusive of cisgender women, transgender and gender diverse (TGD) assigned female at birth (AFAB) individuals with respect to many aspects of health care. Finally, Dr. Burgamy will explore considerations of sexual orientation and diverse relational orientations as they apply to speaking to patients about health and wellness (e.g., family planning, health of sex-specific organs, care for medical conditions such as breast/chest and gynecological cancers in traditional women’s health settings, and culturally competent aspects of making health care referrals). She will highlight case examples of effective clinical and collaborative strategies for mental health providers to improve the health and wellbeing of cisgender women as well as people who are transgender and gender diverse AFAB people.
