Treatment and Management of the Transgender Patient. Case Presentation of a Clinician’s Approach

Cesar Pellerano, M.D., P.A.

Member, AMMG Planning Committee

The transgender patient is becoming more prevalent in our society. Yet few if any of us, have had any formal training in the management of these patients. These individuals often seek help from physicians that do not feel competent or comfortable in their management. As a result, these patients often are left to fend for themselves. In this case presentation I will show how with no training in transgender medicine but with confidence in my age management skills and excellent communication with the patient, I was able to successfully manage and help a transgender woman. I hope that this lecture will inspire the audience to do the same when given the opportunity.
