Medicine is advancing at the speed of light — especially in ideological areas.

At Harvard Medical School, they’re training America’s future physicians to offer “competent and confident gender-affirming health care, grounded in research evidence.”

The institution’s official website boasts a breakdown of its single-credit Continuing Medical Education (CME) class “Advancing Excellence in Transgender Health: A Course for the Whole Care Team.”

Information on the 2023 iteration isn’t yet released, but the seminar has been “proposed as a national CME course following seven years in which a similar course was offered.” And it seems to be a necessity:

The course was developed in response to the high volume of queries from clinicians and healthcare staff seeking to learn about providing high-quality care for adults, adolescents, and children who are transgender or gender diverse.

The following parties should attend:

• Primary Care Physicians
• Specialty Physicians
• Nurses
• Nurse Practitioners
• Pharmacists
• Physician Assistants
• Psychologists
• Social Workers
• Administrators
• Educators

A listing from last October’s endeavor lays out the course’s “agenda.” Included among sections:

• Creating an Inclusive and Welcoming Environment
• Primary Care for Transgender and Gender Diverse Patients
• Behavioral Health Care for Transgender and Gender Diverse Patients
• Considerations for Transgender Providers Caring for Transgender Patients *Please only attend this session if you are a transgender or gender diverse person
• Gender Identity in Children and Adolescents
• Families of Transgender Youth Panel
• Non-Medical Gender Affirmation
• Wellness and Fitness for Transgender and Gender Diverse People
• Cultivating Resilience and Wellness *Please only attend this session if you are a transgender or gender diverse person
• Evidence-Based Behavioral Health Care for Gender Diverse Children and Adolescents
• Debunking Misinformation
• Building an Academic Trans Health Program
• Puberty Blockers and Hormone Therapy for Gender Diverse Youth and Adolescents
• Engaging Leadership and Organizational Change
• Reproductive Care and Obstetrics for Transgender and Gender-diverse People
• Primary and Preventative Health Needs for Transgender People

As for the “preventative needs” of transgender patients, Harvard isn’t the only Ivy League school in pursuit — see “Medical School Launches Transgender Nursing Program, Cites Women’s Need for Prostate Exams.”

Transgender healthcare is on the impressive rise:

Breastfeeding Academy Bails on ‘Breasts’

‘Nonbinary Gender Affirming’ Doctors Offer Sexual ‘Nullification’ Surgery

Perhaps the most curious component of Harvard’s affirming effort is a discussion that was held on Sunday, October 16th. It’s both colossally caring and fantastically frisky:

• Alternative Sexualities in Healthcare: Providing Affirming Care to Patients who Engage in Kink, BDSM, Fetish, Swinging, Ethical Non-Monogamy, Polyamory, and Open Arrangements

Princeton’s on the ball (gag), too:

So goes academia’s intersection with scientific advancement. Harvard describes one of its objectives as “updat[ing] standards of care and programs for transgender and gender diverse adults, adolescents and children, including care focused on both routine primary care needs and care specific to affirming the gender identity of patients.”

As for the cost of the class, 2022 saw fees of $650 for physicians and $450 for nurses. Ten full-tuition scholarships were “available for students pursuing a career in LGBTQIA+ healthcare.” As for “transgender and gender-diverse people,” tuition fees were waived.
