Center of Excellence for Transgender Health
Gender-Affirming Care
The Center of Excellence for Transgender Health, based at the University of California San Francisco, is a research and education institution working to advance transgender health through evidence-based guidelines, policy development, and clinical training for healthcare providers.
This is primarily a resource for medical providers, researchers, and healthcare professionals who want to deliver more informed, affirming care to transgender patients. The Center publishes research on transgender health disparities, develops training tools for clinicians, and works to improve the standards of gender-affirming care across the healthcare system.
For transgender and nonbinary people, the Center’s publicly available materials can help you understand the standards of care you are entitled to, learn about current research on transgender health, and feel more informed when navigating medical systems. Their work helps set the bar for what good gender-affirming care looks like.
If you are a provider seeking clinical education, or a patient who wants to better understand transgender health standards, the Center of Excellence for Transgender Health offers trusted, nationally recognized resources.
