"Transgender Health – Endocrinologist As Local Expert" - Derek Bagley
A Clinical Endocrinology Update session presented by Joshua Safer, MD, executive director of the Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery at Mount Sinai and senior faculty of endocrinology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, will address the special needs of this growing patient population. “The point will be to look at strategy for hormone care as well as the current concerns about potential pitfalls of hormone care and how those can be mitigated by monitoring them carefully if necessary and/or other interventions,” said Dr. Safer. “There will also be some discussion about how big those concerns really even seem to be based on the current literature and what the gaps are in terms of even making those assessments and then what the needs for future study are.”
