The Gender Affirming Care Learning Collaborative (GAC-LC) is sponsored by the UMass Chan Department of Family Medicine and Community Health (FMCH). The purpose of the GAC-LC is to provide primary care clinicians within the UMass community a place to learn about the foundations of providing gender affirming care to adults through education from FMCH and UMass Chan Medical School faculty experts. The goal is to break down silos of knowledge and enhance interdisciplinary, cross-system, and collaborative care to meet the needs of our gender diverse and transgender community.
The GAC-LC is a 6-session Foundations in Gender Affirming Care for Adults series that includes monthly 60-minute virtual meetings (first Wednesday of the month, 12:15-1:15). The GAC-LC structure includes an educational didactic as well as case consultation and Q&A opportunities. Each session will offer 1-hr of CME credits. Participants can register to join at anytime across the 6 months.
