Call for Abstracts: 12th Annual Transgender Medical Conference

The South Florida Transgender Medical Consortium (SFTMC) is calling for abstracts for the 12th Annual Transgender Medical Conference, to be held at the University of Miami Alumni Center in Coral Gables, Florida, on September 21-22, 2023.

This year's conference theme is Supporting Families, and we are seeking abstracts on all aspects of transgender medicine, including:

Hormone therapy
Surgical care
Mental health
Primary care
Legal and social issues
Patient advocacy
We are particularly interested in abstracts that address the following topics:

The impact of recent legislative action on transgender healthcare
Strategies for supporting transgender families
The latest advances in transgender medicine
Abstracts should be submitted online by June 1, 2023. For more information and to submit your abstract, please visit our website at www.sftransmed.org.

The urgency of the situation

In recent months, there has been a wave of unprecedented legislative action targeting transgender people in the United States. These laws, which have been passed in states across the country, would restrict access to healthcare, education, and sports for transgender people.

The SFTMC is committed to providing transgender people with the care and resources they need to live healthy and fulfilling lives. This conference is an important opportunity for healthcare providers, researchers, and advocates to come together and share their expertise, learn from each other, and develop strategies to support transgender people through their work in the face of these challenges.

We hope you will join us at the conference!

The change we are considering would be to:

The mission of the South Florida Transgender Medical Consortium (SFTMC) is to provide advocacy through education to those serving transgender and gender non conforming (TGNC) people seeking health care.
